just scanning the auction, I have these observations...

- auction says the headlight covers 95-02 model years, but in my head, i believe
that there are 3 different headlights during this span of time so the headlights
being sold can't possibly cover all these years

- it says not compatible with models with halogen headlight system, leading me
to conclude that auctioned item does not include ballast

- obviously, their claim that it is street legal in the North America is bogus as
conversion HIDs are not legal

- this appears to be marketed to those who have OEM reflector based HID
and who would like to switch to clear lens, projector HID.

- chances are high that these projectors are designed by some Asian cut-rate
outfit for halogen bulb...and which were converted to HID using rebased HID
bulbs...my strong gut feeling. need to ask them more questions

....just my thoughts
