Default Suspicious, but one has only one broken tab. You need to break more than one to get them out, right?

However the eBay user is brand new and Xenon is spelled Zenon... suspicious....

Default I asked the guy if they were stolen and this is how he replied......

this a reply from seller------you are an idiot. first off i have forgotten more about cars than you will ever know. the mounting tabs on these particular headlights are known to break off, they are flimsy. why else wouyld audi sell a repair kit for the tabs. i got them from a local dealer that could not sell them because they were damaged in shipment to that dealer. and, didnt you notice the factory boxes in the pic. only an idiot would try to pry out headlights. on this particular vehicle the front bumper cover has to come off just to remove them. please, get a life
