    What is the point of ebay ecodes?!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    All of the ebay ecodes I'm finding run H7 bulbs. Are the projectors even meant for xenon setups?

    Basically what is the point of these when compared to buying OEM xenon housings? And don't tell me price, I mean physically.

    they are cheap black housings with no side reflectors, they are essentially cheap halogen e codes.

    lol I was wondering the same.

    OP: I never liked those ecodes so I never bother to consider buying them. Am happy with my Xenons on stock headlight housing.
    For your OEM HID D1S/D2S/D3S and HID conversion [Headlights/Foglights], and Interior/Exterior LED needs, send me a PM.

    Haha, I'm not angry. I just wanted to know the difference between stock halogen housings and ebay ecodes. The point is that they aren't meant for xenons right?

    I love the sig BTW. This year you will need to throw in the Bruins though. hockey is back in boston, even though to me it never left.

    not for xenons no, but the projectors are as nice as the factory Halogen housings.

    they are a cheap alternative for people who either cant afford the real thing or dont want to spend cash on the real thing. the are half as good as OEM at half he price as well.

    Considering the last post of every thread on the first page is by illaudill, I would say YES - racking up post count. (and, many of the threads had been dead for over a month...)
