My Ride: 2005 530i...just bought so in progress...dont know where to start???
Want to do:
LCI Tails, Xenon Headlights, Tints, Wheels, Trunk and Roof Spoiler, iPod Adapter...the list goes on.
hey guys,
just venting...i was looking on ebay this morning and found a complete set of OEM Xenon headlights out of a 545 that was wrecked...they were all complete and included everything for only 300 bucks...
i was leary all day about buying these as the seller had a "zero" feedback rating...well they just sold...someone bid on them at the last minute...
im kind of pissed I didnt buy them because it was a rediculous deal but hopefully it was too good to be true.

hope so...i def do not want to lose 300 bucks to some guy who doesnt really have the lights...the whole thing seemed fishy..all it said on the ad was 2005 545i headlights...i emailed him a few questions with no response. Was probably a fake listing..who in their right mind would list a two complete OEM xenon lights for 300 bucks...????

If it seems fishy, it usually is. When the right deal comes along, you'll know it.
