Lightbulb Need your expertise on Ebay item, please...

I want red/clears tails for my for my '93 coupe si.

Used, I've seen 200 - 230 (the 230 guy, down from 350! wants my stocks, too)

Perfromance Improvements 230 tax in (not in stock, though)

But, with exchange CDN$175.00 shipped on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1850329938

Good deal? Anybody bought them this way or from this outfit? Any mods needed, or, is it like they suggest, a direct bolt in.

Many thanks for all advice and suggestions

I have a cousin who swears by ebay and is an ebay junkie.
I asked what some important things to look for when buying something from ebay, he told be just read the sellers rating, make sure you communicate before the transaction goes down, and don't reneg on any deals.

Read the sellers ratings.

FYI, I checked out the listing and the guy seems pretty solid, but there were complaints about how well the lights actually fight.
BUT most non-OEM lights have fit issues.

It would be best to have them shipped to you as a gift and list the item's value as low as possible because at the end, you will be paying tax and custom as well (for my $300.00 US laptop, my custom and tax was $70.00CDN).

Anthony, I paid about $60-$70 US for mine and then another $20 US for shipping. Too bad the place I got them from on eBay doesn't offer them now because they were prompt. They also included a set of bulbs for them as well.

Looking at that link you posted, I'd say that's about as good as you're going to get on eBay. I'll see if I have any links to retailers on the web that offer a better deal.

Ebay is good for buy/seller protection. As stated before...insure they ship by only usps...UPS is a bunch of scammers with their $40 + brokerage fees.....USPS is only the standard $5- $10....

UPS

Talk to 94EG6HB, he picked up his rears white and red lights from somewhere cheap....PM him(he's back from camping today....tell him he also missed an amazing night at System Sound Bar...always goes out of town on the wrong weekends... )
