Ebay can be a wonderful place if you have the patience. Last week bought a set of Euro Valeo 1-piece headlights that were used and showed up with broken tabs. Paid $170 for the pair. Not a bad deal.

Today - won another set of NEW ones. And only paid $17! Just poorly listed so were hard to find.

Happy Friday everyone!

Default i cant remember where i read that article but there was one that i read a while back about hid light

theft and how some japanese manufacturer has some sort of serial number system for the headlights and how it is supposed to make thefts harder in addition to having the lights integrated and bolted differently into the chassis.

Default Naw - there were in one piece in the photos and the broken pieces were in the box when shipped.

They were poorly packed and broke during shipping. Got the repair kit from Audi (payed for by the guy who sold them to me) and are now working fine.

Default Link....

I think the problem is he didn't take any photos and didn't describe the item very well in the main header - so it doesn't show up on most searches.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=8037752436&amp;rd= 1&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&amp;rd=1">eBay </a></li></ul>
