I i would sell the second set but I cut up the harness to wire up only one of the lights. I'll sell a light without wires if someone wants it? And RMA give me a few minutes and I'll se what I can do

Here's a link to some lights that look to be the some but with a different seller, http://cgi.ebay.com/2-PCS-6-INCH-HID...item43a88a14cc

Search out 6" hid off road lights on eBay and you should find a bunch of different lights. With different seller. I think the seller I got it from sils out because they were on back order when I bought them.

I did some wheeling and dealing and sold my HID lights, ordered a set similar to what the OP found. Ended up about $75 or so ahead
Will report back how they work...

Unhappy

Yep.. They came in yesterday. I like to see how things tick so I took them apart. Right out of the box I noticed one of the bulbs cockeyed...Replaced the little screw they had with a little bigger screw with a washer. A lot more secure than what they had..
It looks to me that they have somebody converting H3 housings to HID.
For the price I hope they last...
Initial quality impression is not good though, besides the loose bolt, the ballast was loose. Looks like they just filled the housing with epoxy:


It was just flopping around in both lights.
I fixed that with some construction adhesive I had:

Hoping this does the trick...

OC i might just have to do that to mine, i like the idea of epoxying the balasts and stuff down, ought to keep them from banging around too much.

Thanks Kiyo, Shes a keeper!

They are eBay lights from Japan/China. What kind of construction did you think they were going to have?

If that construction glue is "Tuff as Nails" that stuff expands, as does a bunch of other construction grade glue. Hope the housing doesnt crack.

What wattage are they? I didnt see that anywhere.
