Black headlights

[m4dc0w]

Anyone out there knows anywhere that carries the JDM Black Head Lights besides eBay?

Seems like the dealers on there try to rape us on shipping/handling, especially us Canadians.

heh, after seeing these prices, Ebay shipping is a bullet I'm willing to bite!

 

[m4dc0w]

Yes I agree, they average $105 and $65 for shipping here.

I better start chewing.

S'ok, had no computer a few months back, headlights were so bad I bit $170 for OEM replacements at the local parts store.

Now That's a bullet!

 

[m4dc0w]

That wasn't a bullet...

It was a full blown rocket...

i feel your pain! the first H.I.D. kit i got
kit = $125
shipping = $100 (and it was a small box and wighted nothing)
duty = $85
total = (cha ching) $310 (thank you sir, may i have another )

having one of the bulbs burn out 1 year later, and not covered by there warranty, priceless.

 

[m4dc0w]

Yeah I know the feeling

That's why I don't ship UPS anymore, as they like to impose a brokage fee of 13% over and above the duties, what a crock.

That's the only bad thing being Canadian.

FYI ebay sellers usually sell the item for low and jack up shipping because ebay doesnt charge a fee on shipping costs when an item sells, just the item itself. Something to think about

we all know that. it's the oldest trick in the book

yeah I'm getting pretty sick of paying more to get shipping to Canada, only to see on the label it cost them 1/2 what they charge to ship to the next state.

Last thing I bought, $15 to the US, $25 to Canada, their actual cost according to the shipping label-$7

But what can you do?

Yeah me too, I didnt check the prices before I posted the links. I have also decided to get them from ebay.

nope, different company. i got there number and called them. i could tell over the phone it was a fly by night company. they wanted to know how i got there number, but i didn't tell them. called a few days later, number didn't work. i thing the company was called revospec i think. i ended up buying a different kit from a different place later that two of my buddies recommend (they have the same kit in there cars for about 3 years now) and they have had no problems, and it cost about $125 i think in total from door to door

What company is that, cuz I don't know if I can trust Ebay with something like this. Housings are one thing...

i got them from a group buy from club gp.com . the guy was really good, and fast. as well, he has a a toll free # splashed on the box if you have any problems, or he will also give you his email address as well. the kit that i got from him also came with a wire harness that i had no clue what it was for, so i emailed him, and within a day i got a response from him. what he dose (or did, this was the summer that just past) is for guys like us that are not in the u.s. is sends a harness that powers the ballasts from your battery, and not from your head light harness. i know i am happy with it. i got a 8K kit, but if i were to ever get a new one, i would go for a 6K. he also had one kit with hi and low beam, as well as one for low only, which is the one i got. if you want, i can see if i can find more info on them for you.

 

[metalmechanic]

That would be great thanks

 

[vroomzoomboom]

o.k., i was trying to find the post in clubgp.com, but couldn't, so a talked to my buddy, and gave me the guys web page, it is http://shop.3bspecialties.com/main.sc. email him, and tell him that you found him in club gp's group buy, and i think he might knock off $10. i also looked at my paypal history and i paid $145 shipped for the low beam only kit. let me know how it goes.

 

[metalmechanic]

Sweet, found it. Looks like the kit is $280 plus $10 more to CAN. I will send him an email, see what he says. May be a bit before I buy, not even 100% sure I'm going to HID's, but I will let you know what happens. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it:biggthump
