do you have any pics of them? on your car? lit up?

nutin for nutin, but I agree with Mr. Hyde.. who ever buys them.. do be aware that they probably were stolen off of someone's car.. regardless of who did it.. (cause we don't to unfairly label someone as a criminal) but these lights might have traded hands from someone that did steal them. If you are buyin these lights for so cheap its gotta mean something.
This guy cant relate until some ****in prick does 4-5k worth of damage to his new ride, completely vandalizing it and necessitating replacing, repairing, and repainting EVERY body panel from the A-pillar forward, knocking it out of commission for weeks to over a month, just to sell some stupid parts for a few hundered bucks. barely less than a retrofit kit that would actually plug right in and give you the proper beam pattern. Like I said, duct tape will hold a D2R HID bulb in place, will it give proper lighting or alignment?? I dont think so. The D2R bulb is also much longer than a normal halogen bulb. Did you take that into effect for proper reflector use with your headlights??

You dont see a problem or a reason why people are jumping on you??? You're the reason thieves are doin this stuff in the first place, dont you get it, without guys like you, they have no market. Maybe you'll find this out for yourself firsthand when you get your new ride.

Hey guys....let's chill and not flame for sec. All I can say is that I can't prove it, but this deal seems to good to be true IMO. Buy with caution is the best advice I can give here.

sorry bro, my friend works @ an acura dealership around here. Already picked up a set from a 02 tl-s with 2 brand new osram stock acura bulbs for 250 :thumbup:






I used some velcro to hold the ballasts/ignitors in the engine bay from radioshack. It's insane, holds like 40 pounds per square inch, it's rock solid.
