Re: Ebay Stuff(good or bad)hmmm
the strut tower bars are fine, but those stupid xenon bulbs will burn out in a week. I bought some for $25....one burnt out in about 10 days, the other one still works, but i took it out very soon after the one burnt out..so it probably would've burnt out anyways<P>Besides...those lights aren't xenons, they are just some fake a-- peice of crap tinted bulbs made in china, and of very poor quality. Get some 100w normal halogen bulbs, they are brighter. The tinted "xenon" fake bulbs are actually DIMMER than stock.

I find that the xeon lights have a life of about 6-9 months or so.<P>Usually what happens with mine is that one of them will stop working properly, like the normal light will burn out but the high beam would still work.

Re: Ebay Stuff(good or bad)hmmm
Tips for being a smart shopper on eBay:<P>Don't bid on that crap "5-15HP with this easy mod" that doesn't have a photo, doesn't describe the mod, and an easy search on here has posts telling you not to!!!<P>Check out the seller, look for negative feedback. Don't buy from pokomondo or mariana miele from Toronto.<P>See if the seller has a website. If it's a business, often they do. Visit the site and see if it's listed cheaper there. Use the site price as a gauge for a max bid. Also, the shipping is sometimes cheaper if you buy from their site. <P>Don't buy a lot of individual items from different sellers just to save a couple of bucks. Each auction will have a shipping cost and these add up. Often if you just bought from a single company (not off eBay, direct) the shipping cost will be much less than the total of the shipping costs for all the individual auctions.<P>Got any questions? Then ask the seller! Don't post on here, "Will it fit my car?" Always ask the seller first.<P>Use those math skills, some common sense, and you have a better chance at a good eBay experience than bidding blind.
