eBay Blackhoused Headlights

[vtec_905]

About to purchase these headlights from eBay:

Anyone have experience or know if eBay headlights are any good? And are these headlights fully compatible with an HID system? (From DDM Tuning)

Thanks guys.

yes those would be fine with a 9006 HID kit, but be forewarned. You probably will hate the clear/amber running light strip after a few weeks.... just pick one or the other... all amber or all clear. if you have the money, get the upgraded wiring harness, if not...search on this forum for a DIY on the matter... I believe someone showed how. on a different note - most users here will say that HID's are only meant for projectors which is technically correct; however you can get away with it by making sure the angling is correct or adding something like eyebrows to ensure that the HID light output is not blinding other drivers. Personally I use the eyebrow method, but not everyone will agree that this will work...look at my signature for the light output at night. Here's a thread to look through for some more info..
HID STICKY
Hope this helps... and welcome to town

listen, the reflector buckets on those are horrible. but they do look nice. if you purchase them i suggest taking apart both your oem headlights and those and putting them together; oem back, with ebay lens and other parts. that way your headlights will look new but preform like oem

I'm using those same exact headlights with DDM Tuning 6k HIDs. No complaints here. I'm about to take them apart and remove the little amber strip though, but otherwise they look great and perform fine. I adjusted the headlights so they line up and I'm not blinding anyone like I used to lol. Obviously the cut-off is sloppy and won't compare to retrofits but I really don't give two ****s about that. haha

If he's buying new headlights, he probably doesn't want or know how to mess with taking them apart. Otherwise he would just do an OEM blackhouse and save his money. Here's the link if you want to Blackhouse them yourself

i bought ebay ones because the lenses on my oem ones were beyond restorable, i didnt buy these exact ones, these look slightly different. but all the same they work great, look great, and my hid kit fit pefectly.

I have a set of those ebays. i had to use sealant to prevent the fogging effect and adjust the lights so they dont blind people. other wise i like them.

i pretty much bought the exact same ones on ebay...be careful when you adjust the head light level because the adjuster knob may break if you turn it to much and the light may aim way up permanently. It happened to me once and I was driving with one of my headlights pointing way up. damn cheap egay products! but i went and bought another one anyways lol.

I got the black and clear ones off eBay and I love them, no problems so far although I do wish I got the ones with amber.
