I'll dig them out if someone's interested...
How much would you be wanting for them?

I should warn that these are from the USA so could be set for lhd cars.... I do not know .....
I dont want much tbh, I think £30 for these is fair.

Well I won the auction, I bid up to £70 but got them for much less. I guess I wanted them the most. After Ratty's (harsh but fair) comments I was completely sold on replacing my HIDs.

Only Problem is, the seller hasn't claimed the payment. What's that about? I'm losing faith more and more with eBay. Won a Nikon 18-55mm VR lens the other week for £53 but it never turned up; granted, the price was quite low but a deal's a deal.

Still a lot of kebab sellers on ebay, but it's the same anywhere in life. I've had 99% good dealings through ebay and only once had someone mess me about and supposedly have something "lost in the post" once because I won it for a lot less than I knew he wanted for it

The auction only finished yesterday, so you just need to be patient

He may work nights for all you know

That's true, just never seen a 'payment unclaimed' status before. I'll be patient and see what happens

maybe an issue with their paypal, i have had it once when buying something

yeh its usually a paypal issue, i once paid someone for an ebay purchase and the chap selling had made an error in his email to pay link while filling in the sale page, when i paid it went to an email address that wasnt in use, so it just sat there till he contacted me (about 2 weeks). i do fear he wont claim or post the item, my first thoughts when i saw your link to them was - new, other ummm what does that mean exactly. could it be he has refurbed these there for he would have lost money if he goes ahead with the sale. i may be completly wrong, he only has 1 feedback and that was from a seller so he may be in the process of setting it all up.

Yeah it does look too good to be true. I just want rid of my HIDs now. Luckily I've not really had to use them yet but I don't want to be driving around blinding people. I did stand in front of the car with them on and didn't find the light too offensive, but it is probably a different story at night with glare through the windscreen.

If this falls through then I'll have to reconsider my options.

Paul, cheers for offering your set. I might take you up on that. Need to see what the issues would be with running LHD beams though. Would they be road legal?

Aren't LHD ones opposite? (Without sounding like Captain Obvious) I thought they were not road legal because something something beam height something pattern something something wrong side of the road/car.

Yeah that's what I thought. Just checking.

They came on a car I broke up a few years ago, so were never used by me... That's why I don't know much about them. LHD lights would be illegal in this country.. I have heard about swapping the metal plates around inside the lights to make them point the right way.. I was never interested in them really so packed them away and never thought about them again... But I'm now leaving Preludes and anything I have is up for sale if people want them .....

If someone else wants to have ago with them they are more than welcome... offer me the right price....
