The lights are just the body, right? You gotta use your OEM bulbs and all?

How is the quality compared to your stock D2R's?
They looked cheap to me in the auction.

I have the E-Bay lights on my sedan.... I just used the Halogen bulbs for now but I'd like to retrofit my xenons. I don't know how to do it because there is no place to install the ballasts and HID boxes on the light casings. The halogens suck as far as lighting AND the fog lamps don't work... They do have some pretty cool looking city lights pre installed which looks great during the day... I have a black sedan so the lights look pretty amazing. I may just get some PIAA driving lights (they put out decent light) unless you can actually use the Xenons. Let's see some pictures if you figure out how to convert the E-Bay lights to HID. Just FYI also, there are some blacked out sedan lights that come with HID on E-bay..price is $399.00 (I may get some of those later if I can get these to work).

Actually the quality looks and feels like OEM...I think they'd be just fine with HID...

u hit it dead on..

the backing of the xenons is very different vs the halogen ones..
the only way to change this out is too crack open the xenon lights and swap out the wiring and move the backing out..which I will try to do..

but for now the halogens are on my car..which ain't bad but not as great as xenons..will post some pics later
