Default ebay headlights

I was looking at the halo, led, Angel Eyes headlights on ebay, they range from $150-$350. Does anyone have any experience with these lights? I like the look of angel eyes on Audi's and BMW's etc, thinking they might look nice on a SC.

In all honesty, ebay lights are a little rice. What a lot of people like to do is separate the stock lens & use the clear ebay lens. You could also paint the inside light housing black if you wanted. I've seen some people put LED light strips to make them look like the Audi's & Benz's.

Theres quite a few people who have them on here but you will probably get trashed for buying them. If you buy them get the cheapest ones you can, they are all the same so theres no sense in overpaying for them.

From what I heard the eBay lights create condensation inside pretty quick. But I'm also contemplating on buying one because of their lenses, or modify it to a cleaner less ricer look.

I want the black halos and black tails to give my black sc that stealthy look. And on ebay u can get the highs and lows for like $300. Andysautosports.com has them from Spyder for around $350 combined.

I bought my car and it had the ebay lights on it, they look pretty decent on a black Sc.

They were just hard to adjust, they wouldn't screw down enough until i used an electric drill.

The quality is ok and they don't seem to condensate.

Just split the headlight open (there's a DIY how to do it in the DIY section) then paint the chrome part black and put them back together.

300-350 isnt cheap considering you can get some 97+ for around the same or just a bit more.

Since ive been here no one has given them a good review or recomended them, apparently they suck.

I was thinnking about them as well, but have read nothing good about them. My drivers side headlight was replaced a year ago after a fender bender (not my fault!) and now i have a 16yo headlight on one side and a brand new one on the other. Headlight polishing kits do not work, or not well enough to match the new one, and a new passanger side assembly is $400! The ccfl's looked like an option or a minute, but idk now. The idea of using just the outer lens to take the age off of a stock assembly is neat though....
