I just wondering if thats a good deal!

There is one for 350 and another for 395.
And this one is at 375? Oh well, i am not promoting the sale but just curious on being cheap.

They are all going to end up costing about the same, they are on there all the time.

Just buy 'em already!

It's hard to find anything too cheap on ebay.
I have seen some busted ones go for under $300.

You should go ahead and buy it if it's from bimmer_323i on Ebay. Courtney does great business and charges good prices. i got my MINT condition JDMs from him at 350 including shipping.

ProjectPrelude · 04-16-2002, 11:37 AM

ebay is the way to go..I got my JDMs for 339 and I picked them up since his shop was local and I sold my stock ones for 200 so in total I got JDM headlight conversion for $139!

Since the market is so hot on JDM parts, the lights on eBay are probably the best price you can get. Try to get under $410 shipped and you'll be fine. Back in the days, these headlights cost $500-$600...now it's $300-$400. Not too shabby.

Erik,

If you have done your research, JDM lights are from Japan and are ONE pieced sets. They come in two types...chrome housing and black housing. Many prefer the black housing (Type R look, dark look, matches my CF hood, etc). Since they're from Japan, they are rare, hence the hefty price, but honestly it's about retail price that you would find stock OEM headlights at the dealership.

Are they better than stock? Yes and no. They are just headlights after all. Both have their pros and cons. It's upto you to figure it out.

The only con I can think of is the installation that goes into it. Took me an hour or so, but I'm just a weekend mechanic. I don't know a lot about installation like most of these guys here.
