A bit of a Dilema
I have a Pair of D2S Bixenon projectors ripped from a Mercedes R-Class. (I have a thread around here somewhere about it)
My problem is I need some coupe headlights but cant justify spending a ton of money for some headlight assemblies. (I dont want to use the ones on the car right now) Then I considered some ebay lights. Preferably chrome. But every single pair I've seen have been cheap crap with 3 LEDs. Can anyone help or share some insight or even possibly show me a good cheap pair of healights I could retrofit? Thanks in advance |

Eagle Eyes is a Taiwan company that sells OEM "style" headlights. I got that info from a user on here for his FA5. Said it fits perfectly. Google them.
That or stick around the For sale forums, every now and then coupe headlights come up on the radar. I got my spare set for 130 bucks shipped from a member. The cheapest I have ever seen on ebay for both headlights is 80 usd so expect to pay around 100 usd at best when its all said and done. |

Thanks Man. I'm willing to spend about $150 but I'm seeing 250 and upwards to 350. I'm just lurking the FS forums to grab a deal.
Eagle Eyes does not seem to have what I need. Plus it says the minimum order is 100-200 pieces. |

Im going to put my 2 cents in...I did that with my first retro and they lasted about a year with the Ebay ones. I bought them and put my TSXs in there and they looked great...for about a year....then the plastic exterior of the lens started to fade and peel, yes that's right the plastic coating began to peel. It only took about a year + or - a couple months. I took care of the plastic too so it was not due to lack of upkeep. I ended up using stock headlights and have and no problems since then. I still have the originals as back ups in case something happens to my current ones.
