What do you make of these Ebay Cefiro headlights?

I've been looking to get some nice projectors installed in my blacked out Cefiros, but I found some new Cefiros on Ebay that appear to already have projectors already installed. I'm still learning about everything needed for a proper HID/projector setup, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at here.

LINK

Aside from the color of the projector, which I don't understand, it looks like a basic H7 projector installed in some Cefiros. So the only thing needed to complete the install would be an H7 HID kit, correct?

One interesting thing I noticed was that there is the option for LHD/RHD headlights. For about $300, I'm seriously considering buying these. I guess it's safe to assume these are not bi-xenon projectors at this price.

So what do you guys think of these?

According to ChrisMan they are not the greatest, but I don't know exactly how good they are. I was actually gonna get those but i found someone who was selling their retro'd headlights.

I think you're better off getting the headlights retrofitted than buying eBay lights. I've heard many things about the quality of eBay lights. Seems most are knockoffs made in China.

yeah that is right. It's better to just retrofit the headlights actually. Much better. Get all parts from theretrofitsource.com

You can do a much better set up for under $200 in your current headlights if you do it yourself.

Those projectors are garbage.

Yeah, after the research I've been doing, these don't look like they're worth it.

I'm probably just going to get some FX-R projectors retrofitted, but I think I would like it done in a new set of headlights, as these are starting to fade. Is anyone selling the blacked out Cefiros anymore?

Definitely not worth it.

FX-R's are nice. I love my FX35's with FX-R clear lenses. Try sanding/polishing up your headlights. If they're still faded then get a set of eBay Cefiro's.

Yeah, I saw the ones on Ebay, and the price is right, but he wants 50% of their value ($65) just to ship them! I shipped my disassembled transmission halfway across the country for only $40!

That's insane. I'm tellin' ya just sand and buff the crap out of yours. They should look brand new. Then throw a coat of wax on em everytime you wax the car and they'll stay looking fresh.

They look nice but man they are expensive. And no one really knows the quality of the headlights? That can be trouble waiting to happen for someone who purchases them....
