What do you think about this ebay item?

Hey guys i tried lookin for this on the forums, didn't see anything except for the home made projectors people put together... but i stumbled across these GD projectors, the size and shape look like they fit.

What do you guys think?

ebay stuff usually doesnt ever fit correctly. I used to buy stuff like that from ebay but have stopped. You get what you pay for. If you want good projectors, i would do the retrofit yourself instead of these.

Its all been covered in the above posts. A retrofit isn't difficult at all.

those should be depo branded if im not mistaken, but the projectors are for halogen bulbs, not made for HID, and they fit jdm front end only

actually theyre not for the jdm version according to the seller.

looking at the curve and angle of the headlight, it does look like a legit usdm headlight.


could be wrong. haha whatever. i don't plan on buying them, just wanted to see if anyone has seen these ebay lights.

i prefer my blacked out headlights. ^_^

Looks like a fake. Brackets I've seen are always black, bolts don't have the same head shape, the genuine comes with more bolts/nuts, the bearings aren't supposed to be black and look cheap...etc. If it's so cheap compared to everyone else selling a supposed genuine product, there's usually a reason... especially on ebay.

Those look like nice but just be careful. I ordered something for the Fit back in August 2009 off Ebay and did not get the part to fit the car until February 2010. This was after multiple e-mails to the seller and each time I had to send pictures of what I needed and show how what he sent me did not work. Then he kept saying he shipped but I would never get the item.
