Do you have a link? How are we supposed to know what you are talking about? If they're OEM HID's, you will not have to modify any fittings to get them in. Look in the for sale section of these forums. I have some for sale as well.

I think I know what you are talking about. They are those $200 ones painted black right? There was a thread before about it. I'm also wondering if they are for hid equipped or not because one of my headlights has a small crack.

Are they the HID conversion kit? I have one that cost $170.00 brought off of ebay. I'm please with them, though the passenger's side lights failed to light two-three times before. I've had the HID on for 2 months now. Like, I'd turn them on and the drivers side would fire, the pass would not. So I'd flick the light off, then on and both would work fine. I haven't had the issue is awhile though. I'm happy with them if it comes to a cost vs benefits issue. They are better than the stock halogens, the light output is much better, and they didn't cost a lot. Some on here would argue imitation is not as good as the real thing. They are right, but I for one would not want to spend 1000 for the 2006 HID assembly.

If it's actual Hella brand then yes it's an excellent deal. Hella is one of Europes top headlamp/hid manufacturers for Porsche, Benz, Audi ect.

Well the guy gets pretty damn good feedback on his products and service so I would'nt be afraid to do it. It's all about the feedback IMO. If it goes to **** months down the road you've only lost $150.00. But it may outlast you. Buy it.
