Ebay lights/hid quality (link)

[AKeclipseGSX]

Okay, so here are some aftermarket headlights for my Eclipse, and they come with 6000k hids. They sell for 200 dollars shipped (including headlights, and hid kits). But it's all ebay, anyone know what the quality is going to be like? Anyone had ebay headlights or HID kits?

Here's a link to the exact ones

HID 95 96 ECLIPSE TALON JDM BLK PROJECTOR HEAD LIGHTS | eBay

Thanks.

It's ebay so it's hit or miss.
If you really want quality then do a retrofit with OEM parts in your OEM lights.

Yeah I know, but I figured 200 is a lot for ebay, so hopefully the quality is good. That's why I posted, to see if anyone else had tried these lights or similiar lights.

Retrofit, meaning take my lights and throw LED strips in them and stuff?

No, retrofit meaning pull the HID projectors out of a car that came with them from the factory, and bolt them into your existing headlights. You can find OEM projectors all over eBay, or from here:

I have had 2 sets of ebay ones and they were both junk. I say retrofit as well.

 

[AKeclipseGSX]

Really? Those look so nice though! But I do know, ebay is usually junk..

And I'm not sure if I know how to retrofit.. Never done anything like that.

Okay, what if I didn't get them off Ebay? Something like this.
JDM Black with Blue Projector - Style A - 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse Projector Headlights

And maybe throw this under it.
Plasmaglow Lightning Eyes LED Headlight Kit - AMBER for 95-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse at Andy's Auto Sport

Any thoughts on that?

do you drive a mitsubishi or an audi? keep the car original, tasteful mods win the crowd.

 

[AKeclipseGSX]

Eh, good point.. I just think the Audi running lights look really good. But well said.

I have read very good things about these. Several people on here have done this mod.

I currently have had 2 sets of those head lights on my car, and loved them. The only reason I had to get another set is because someone side swiped me, and messed up my passenger light. But I had them on for 2 years before that with no issues. You have to re seal them, as they use sone crappy sealer and you'll get condensation inside the light, but other than that, they are great. Also I had an Ebay hid kit for over 2 years and still going. Remember, a lot of companies use the same plant/warehouse that the name brands are made in.

Are you talking about the ebay ones

I run those exact lights, it was only for one summer but they function great, they have good cut-off lines. the only problem i had with mine is actually adjusting the headlight cut-off down (they came with HIDs). i did not have enough adjustment in the screw adjuster so i slotted the holes in the top of the housing a bit (roughly 1/8") and slide the headlight forward which tilted it more to the ground and that helped a lot. over the summer i ran mine they didn't yellow like previous experiences i had with ebay, but again it was only one summer (the car is still sitting in a barn since the fall from a lifted head).

 

[AKeclipseGSX]

So those ebay lights might be a good deal?

 

[silentscreamer]

i really like them, i haven't had any trouble with the police during the time i had them, and the only people who used to flash there high beams were trucks that sat right in the cut-off line (which usually is the most "glarey" section of the beam.) like i said my only complain was the adjustment was limited (fogot to mention they do come with the level in the housing like factory ones).
