I am having a group buy with this guy in germany. He is selling the OEM HIDS.

This is how it goes

850EUROs -> 1-10 people
800EUROS -> 10+

Let me know.

800 euros is how much U.S.

I think is about 1005$. I can try to work out with the price with him a little more. I will let you guys know.

I dunno if any of you have thought of this, but...you could get the in.pro projector headlights and do an HID conversion to them...same effect, less $$$. But there is something to be said for OEM quality.

For the full effect, get a European bumper and install the headlight washers!

Yes, I know especially the housings on the OEM HIDS are glass, not plastic. If you think the price is still a little to high, i can try to get it down. Still, let me know who is in.

Heads up - I don't think glass housings pass inspection in all states - for some reason I remember hearing that perhaps they don't pass in MA. I'll let some one confirm this if it is indeed true...

I might be interested if the price is right!

Nothing beats true OEM HIDs.

Do you have any pictures of these HIDs?
Are the the old style ones with the remote ballasts, or the new 03+ ones with ballasts attached to the HID housings?

Also, are the leveling motors installed in the lights? So then all we need is the manual rehostat leveling controller from ECS, or the auto leveling hardware.

Any more info on this possible group buy?

It is the new 03+ ones with the ballasts attached to the HID housing. Yes the leveling motors are installed in the lights, they are however not auto-leveling, you have to manual adjust them. Please give me your email, so i can send you some pictures! Btw, I will ask for some better prices, do you you need Jetta ones or Golf ones?
