Wish I could help you on that but I got mine ( headlights and fogs) from some local guy for $60 a piece and I couldn't be happier. I have had ZERO issues with them and have had them for almost a year.

I got a couple kits for some buddies at work and they have had zero issues as well.

If you can't find anything I am down to pick up a set for you if you want to paypal me the money. I'm sure they would fit in the $12 flat rate box through the USPS.

PM me if you want me to pick you up a set

I'm running 35W 8k but he has pretty much whatever you want. I got some 55W 6k's for the guys at work.

I'm planning on picking up some 55W 6k for my Accord (the first and ONLY mod in 6 years of ownership) as it has halogens and they SUCK!!!

I just got a hold of the guy and he has what you need. I scheduled a pick up for tomorrow. I will PM you my paypal account, just send me the $$$ tonight and I will pick them up tomorrow. I won't be able to ship them out until Tuesday as the post office will be closed for the 4th.

A little background:

I found this guy on craigslist a while back and was kind of skeptical until I pulled up to his house and saw his cars. This guy had over 300 HID kits and was selling them like hot cakes. Like I said I have bought a couple kits from him for me and some friends and none of us have had any issues (knock on wood). I am currently using 2 of his kits, 1 headlights + 1 fogs.

Here is a link to his add on craigslist:
http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/2474306290.html

P.S. I misquoted the price, he is selling them for $65

Here is a link to the foglight HID conversion I did:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...og-lights.html

so you can see what the kit looks like
