Why would you pay return shipping. If the sellers product is messed up you should be able to get a free exchange. That's what I would work for. If that doesn't work then I guess pay shipping as long as he guarantees the next product will be fine.

I hope they will pay return shipping...Their return policy -" buyer pays return shipping" but I hope its only in case for a refund but I just want them to replace for a better quality pair
I will let you know the outcome as soon as the seller responds.

Also, looks like I wont be able to "bake" the drivers light to clean the glue due to AE's ballasts inside

I returned the lights back & they sending another pair. Hopefully they will be better quality.

I have one question - it looks like these lights have H7 bulb- can I use my stock bulbs with them? My bulbs are D2S to I could use the adaptor that sells on eBay but that adaptor is only for OEM headlights - I dont think it will work with these eBay lights.

Can anyone tell me how can I keep my original ballasts,wires & D2S bulbs to use with these lights?

If you can use your stock ballasts and bulbs that would be keeyy

I sure hope you can use your stock equipment with these otherwise there's no point. Here's hoping something is out there to make this work.

Can anyone help Philly X5??

When i first purchased these lights from Custom Angel Eyes dave said the stock ballasts and bulbs would not work, and therefore i purchased an HID kit from him. Now that I am having my issues he said that they would work, and something about the D2S bulb fitting a little weird..but it would still fit. (too bad i sold my OEM ballasts and bulbs a long while back otherwise i would REALLY love to try it). so i guess it would fit? and the adapters might help.

i'm still waiting on his 'overnight' HID kit to me. still no lowbeams!

Did you end up having to pay for shipping to their manufacturing errors, or are they picking up the tab? I guarantee if they have to pay for it, they'll be a lot more careful for each set made after that.

I have an extra set of 750iL headlights w/ D2S HID's in them...i'd love it if I could remove them and use an adapter to install them into the X.

Seller paid for returned UPS shipping so I hope next set will be better.

Still dont know how can I retrofit OEM wiring & D2S bulbs in these to replace H7... but I think I will come up with something just need to get the new headlights back.

You can remove the ballast if you need to...they are held to the housing by 2 metal clips
