Default [eBay] JDM HID Retrofitted Headlights

Not exactly sure if I'm allowed to post these sort of things (remove or move the post as you see fit), but today as I was perusing eBay (searching for 98-00 clear corners) I came across these lovely 98-00 headlights. As you can see here, these were retrofitted with HIDs and halo rings. I have no idea whether they're self-leveling or not but for $300ish, they're a pretty great buy for anyone who wants HIDs, or even a set of nice retrofitted headlights. I'd buy them if I had the cash, but since I don't I figure why not let you guys in on it.

I've been seeing this for a while now. Looks cool, but why does it have a greenish tint to it??? Last time I saw it, it was going for under $200

I'm guessing previous owner baked 'em open and painted the housings to match his build. These would probably make an awesome match for the Imperial Jade Mica crowd. Mainly why I wish I had the money

Iirc, no name brand projectors and those ccfls are weak. Need to re-do it... And they've been listed for months, mo wonder no one wants them!

Look at the inner, on the rig headlamp, it's all cockeyed.

Eh, I figure for the price, it's alright. It's certainly a bit cheaper than buying newish parts and paying someone else to retrofit them.

^definitely.

I would just pay someone reputable to do them. Better to spend more and have it done right IMO.

I guess you can just remove this post as the general consensus seems to be "stay away".
