Ebay Scam Alert: picturebook_lover

For anyone considering upgrading your daytime running lights (do a search if you don't know what I'm talking about), DO NOT buy these lights from Ebay seller picturebook_lover. They are worthless and do not look anything like what is shown in the auction pictures. See this posting for details: https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class-w208/223527-ebay-scam-alert-picturebook_lover.html

The bulbs did a great job in macthing up with my HID setup. I am happy with them. Why do you trash talk about that ebayer's product?.. The seller even show picture illustrations of the bulbs installed in hope to show people white ligth do appear little different in different distance.. take a look the listing page. I just don't like you spread BS about who I thought was honest and delivered the product as it shown.

Take a look for your self here:

Hmmm...so "chinaman", what's the point of posting bogus pictures from the auction to make a point? The auction pictures are bogus as are the bulbs. I saw the pictures of your car with these installed. Just like on my car, they don't look anything like the auction picture (not anywhere close to as white or as bright). So CASE CLOSED.

BTW - are you in business with picturebook_lover or are YOU actually picturebook_lover? You seem to be defending our picturebook friend quite a bit.

I purchased the same bulbs from picture_lover about a month ago, but haven't installed them yet. Tomorrow I will finally have time and we shall see if this is really bogus.

Well appearently everyone else like Picturebook_Lover's Xenon Clearence bulbs, not just me... See the feedback attached for yourself " bs00clk ".

Just to make my case.. other who had purchased bulbs are all happy with Picturebook_lover's bulbs..

And I don't think everyone gave positive feedback are all in business with Picturebook_Lover..

So shut your trash talking mouth "bs00clk ".. and don't go around accuse people now...

Get lost !!

See the feedback for yourself here...

You don't get it my friend. You come here and threaten other members, you go swiftly. Fair warning.

45acp: I'll post pics when I get my car back from the shop. Check out the w208 forum for other forum members negative feedback on these bulbs. I have no agenda here other than pointing out a product that doesn't work as advertised. Happy holidays everyone.

Polarg is the brand. I have polarg hyper whites or hyper blues I believe. You can get them here.

http://www.2kracing.com/index.php/cPath/27

If you do not have depo projectors, you are going to have to shave off one of the tabs in order to install. If you have depo projectors, then you can get the bulbs with the flat contact end tips like these. (look at the picture right under the price).

http://www.2kracing.com/index.php/cPath/27

Right now i'm not exactly sure whether or not I got the hyper whites, or the hyper blues. I'm going to have to dig through all my stuff to find the wrapper lol.

Nate, I'm guessing you have the hyper-blue. I have the whites (and thanks for the link, I forgot where I got them), and the whites are still a bit yellowish.
