yeah are the bolt in? do we need special wire harness's? would a group buy get a discount? what kind of shipping costs for single or bulk buys?

You cannot wire a projector directly into a 9004 bulb (stock lighting). It is not the same bulb. So you'll need a wiring harness. Also, for that price a harness with the lights would be a steal. I doubt they come with a wiring harness converter. The reason you would replace the whoel wiring harness is that by doing so you get about 20% more light.
JSchrauwen (I know I butchered your name J-Beef, sorry) and a couple opther members and I have real projector lamps alreasdy. We tested the different ways we wired them. Mine being a whole new wiring harnees and switch. I have 20% more volts (thus 20% more light) than a stock harness with a 9004 to H4 wiring kit.
So why would you spend say even 700.00 for a pair of lights and not make them the best you can.

BTW, we still do not know what brand or type of projector is used. More info will be needed to determine if 600 plus shipping would even be worth the hassle.

Sorry guys to burst your bubble, but the advertisement is for a front bumper cover. And yes, I speak and read Russian.

Just looked at their full offering for an Mx-3, and yes, they have a pair of lights for E500. Says that they are built after the concept of Hella (means looks wise probably). Who knows what optics they have inside. May be they can give us better pictures.

Hmm so who's emailing him about a possible group buy, and if they come w/ a harness, what brand of projectors, and whatnot??

anyone???

I would, but I do not trust Russian sources, especially advetised over the internet. We are yet to see better pictures and details of the product before we jump on the GB.

Heres their email address that they answered from in English:

www@ostuning.spb.ru

Probably better if someone does it from your side of the world or else we might end up with prices to Australia...

Email also sent.

I sent an email to this retailer and they sent a fairly quick response about these;

Good day
Thank you for your letter
This headlight made our compani.
The material fiberglass and hella components.
Best regards
Sergey Egorov

I sent another email in response asking for more specifics and pics as well as shipping costs to US and Canada. Also asked about pricing options for a possible group buy. We'll see if 'Sergey", is a little more forthcoming about his product. I would have expected a little more elaborate sales pitch on his behalf but perhaps the language barrier may be an obstacle. Perhaps if someone who speaks Russian could email him in their native tongue, we may be able to get more info. Just a thought.
