Link to ebay?

Sometimes people sell stolen oem housing on ebay. That could be why that "tabs are broken"

hmm....... wow, someone admitting they bought a stolen headlight..... not the smartest thing to say on a forum where people get pissed for someone asking to show proof before they give directions on hooking the lights up. Really not cool in my book either.... just go steal them yourself, same in my book. Just my opinion though. If they tabs are broken panchosmax00, they are probably stolen. Don't buy them because you prolly won't get any help hooking them up, then again, maybe shift_2kmaxima will show you, then again he might come steal them too.....

Huso, you never know if its stolen or not...some people can just break those tabs off cuz they tripped and fell....stuff happens man...so maybe you did get some legit headlights, who knows?

Stolen or Not, EVerything can be stolen and sold on Ebay, If you have the oppurtunity to buy something you want on Ebay, then go and buy it, then again know one knows if its stolen or not. Ebay is a buyer and seller market...

I dont know much about the OEM HIDs. But I do know one thing, alot of accidents happen when taking stuff apart. Could be a clumsy owner. Then again, could def be stolen. Either one, you never know. Everything is a possible stolen item these days so, I guess all I could say is enjoy your lights.

Ima be posting 1 driver HID headlight on ebay soon or on the Maxima Classifieds, doesnt mean they were stolen, but they were actually bought direct from the NIssan dealer ($750), because my insurance is replacing my headlight because i was in an accident but my old Hid headlight can be easily fixed.... Doesnt mean they are stolen because im just selling 1 drivers Headlight either.. So i think you should continue to do your happy bidding.
