    FS in RVA: US Ellipsoids

    I have a set of US ellipsoids that I'm trying to get rid off.

    They come with the bulbs (unverified condition) and the plugs with a good 6-8 inches of wire so you can splice them into your existing wiring. The trim rings are painted black.

    The driver's high beam has a stone chip that you can see, but it is on the inside. I don't think that the lens even has a hole in it. If you want to change to a new lens I would talk to boybimmer. He has a lens ready to ship and is agreeable to working out a fair price for it. All you would have to do is break off the old one and glue on a new lens.

    The passenger high beam needs two of the plastic cups to hold the adjustment knobs in place. You will need to buy 2 "black plastic bushings" PN 63121378369. I believe that blunt charged me less than a dollar for each of them when I was building my smilies.

    The passenger low beam lens fell off as I was cleaning it, so I 2-part epoxied the glass back on. It has a slight amount of excess glue inside the glass, but is barely noticeable as you can see in the pictures.

    I originally was going to ask for $120 plus shipping, but due to the couple of imperfections I'm asking $100 plus shipping, but I have some room to negotiate. As you can see from my feedback, it will be able to survive a bomb blast when I'm done packing it.

      Someone needs to make an offer. This is a pretty decent set and way better looking than sealed beams.

        I have a set of ellipsoids from an e24 so I'd be interested in just the buckets without the lights or pigtails (which may be easier to sell by themselves anyway). LMK if that could work.

        Thanks

              i dont know if the picture makes them look worse than they really are but they just look so rough, i wouldnt mind high beam being rough i can just wet sand it and throw some glass paint on it, but low beams need to be pretty nice.

                i'll look at them again when i get home, but from what i remember of them they arent that bad. obviously there is pitting on them, but i purposefully took the pictures at that angle with flash so you could see everything and wouldn't be surprised when you opened the box. i guess i'll try to take some natural daylight pictures today so you can see what they look like without flash. (i honestly dont know how to take a decent picture of glass)
