Hella Xenon Headlights Blowout Priced @ Amazon

[motomoron]

Hey - I wanted to pass this on to the group. I'd looked at these on amazon a couple months ago when I got my '01 525iT manual, and got an alert email they were marked WAY down. The pair was $511 shipped w/ Amazon Prime.

I checked today and they're up a bit - around $600/pair - but it's a solid $400 ea below the cheapest online places.

One of mine arrived yesterday and I was stunned to find these are ~COMPLETE~ assemblies. They include bulbs and ballast-igniter modules cabled to the xenon bulbs. Literally the complete plug and play units. They have the amber turn signal lenses, so if you have to have white, no joy.

But if you want to go xenon w/ no compromise I can't see how you'll ever do better than this.

I was seriously considering buying the remaining 5 sets in stock and reselling, but with a complete race car rebuild underway and the season 3 monts away, I just don't have the bandwidth now.

So for 5 of you, enjoy the deal.

Great deal, indeed! The only issue: in description they say it is w/amber turn indicator, but on pics it is clear.

Crap!!! I bought the remaining 5 sets just to see that its amber. For the price its still not bad but I wanted the euro clear corners. Looks like its time to cancel.

It's a generic photo. All Hella e39 xenon HLs on amazon use that photo.

My pair has amber TS lenses.

Sure, but confusing.

Note - Amazon's pricing algorithm will probably mark these back up now.

And this means what exactly?

[mattmartindrift]

And this means what exactly?

that amazon varies pricing using it's own proprietary algorithm to determine value.


given the speed at which these sold, they will deem them as worth more, and mark up the price.

[NervoS]

Oh, I see.

[Gumbi4u]

Get them before they sell out then. They still have some sets at same price. Price review isnt till midnight.

[ElleShooTiger]

And this means what exactly?

Most companies keep a running price recalculation based on product availability and what their suppliers are charging.

I've ordered a lot from RockAuto, and they might have 5 parts in inventory from distributor A at $20 and then will buy 10 parts from distributor B at $30. Once A runs out, the price jumps to B's since that is their new supplier.

Thanks for the heads up!

I just bought a set. Can't beat the price for sure even if it's amber signal.

This is just for the housings right? No ballast? Still a hell of a deal.

Are them self-leveling xenons?

[exbenz]

You aint ling... ebay does that too! (seller's choice?) Ive seen 25w cree angel eyes bulbs for 70 bux with free shipping the other day, now they are selling for 200 bux

[z168]

any chance they have amber turn signals but are euros?

I dont care much for the turn signal as long as no amber reflectors

[champaign777]

second i dont thing they are self-leveling
