Buying Litronic headlamps off of ebay. buyer beware
  • what i ultimatly learned is that if you want them for $900 then you probibly want them without hassle for $1300.  Spend the money, you can buy them new from any number of websites that have them for sale for approximatley $1300.
  • they always go for approx $900 on ebay.
  • they ebay ones never include the wireing harness so that you can get the auto adjusting high beam.  you will end up with a poorly done job. 
  • the installation is more difficult than what is implied by the guys selling the headlights, if you are going to do it correctly with the wireing harness modifications.
your not saving any money and you are just exposing yourself to the ebay crazy's.

my experience with one of the ebay crazy's
I purchesed headlights from porschecaps and the guy sent me two driver side headlamps. They were packed so poorly that they were both scratched.  I  talked to the guy and he initially seemed really helpfull, however he wouldn't believe me that he had made a mistake.

His paranoia that i and everyone else were out to try and scam him was inflaimed by every conversation that we had regarding finding a solution. He believed that i had switched out the headlights his inacurate presumtion is that everyone has sets of headlights hanging around like himself, and would be as unethical as himself

This guy was such a parinoid nut case i ultimately had to file with paypal and they forced him to pay me my money back once i shipped him his headlights back.

I lost some shipping costs and a great deal of time.  The time i obsessed over the idea that i had been scamed out of a grand, alone was the greatest cost. 

I would never attempt to buy used autoparts on ebay again.  The product type/complexity is too open for unethical people who can exploit the limitations of the consumer.
