PCP vs. Ebay Euro headlamps

[duke16]

Does anyone know why there is a large price difference between the euro diamond clear headlamps sold through ProCarParts.com and those that are sold on Ebay? Procar has them for $145 + $30 shipping ( http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=FD95EP-9839HLX ), yet Ebay merchants ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-9...emQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ009QQitemZ190182598942 ) has them for around $64 + $40 shipping. That makes Procar about $70 more. I assumed the same companies in China manufactured them all. Are Procar's a better build quality or something?

I would never reccommend pro crap parts to anyone.

They are probably the same or similar parts, PCP.com just jacks up the price to make more profit, since they likely sell less than an ebay vendor, "euro" lights being a hot item on ebay for ricers so they sell more. I would definitely suggest searching the forums and only getting lights from a known good vendor or source, plenty of members have lamps they're very pleased with for fair prices, it's not worth paying more for inferior products.

I wish I knew. When the clears first came out people raved about their great brightness and good coverage. Later some complaints came in about shadow or dark areas in the beam pattern.
Whats the difference? Who made the lights? .....Who knows?
I guess its just "buyer beware".
