euro smilies are 160$ brand new...
40$ would be way over paying for used us ellipsoids.
i have to get a spec on how many exist in junkyards.
But if they were worth 100$ and they are on all 89 and newer e30s..... I could make my living just pulling them out of the e30s ins pickn pulls.
Admittedly its one of the first things pulled out. But theyre not rare. Whats hard is finding someone whos a sucker enough to pay that much.
Not to turn this into a pissing match but just venting at how redic some people are yet you state some valid points me saying "sell asap" im gonna get ball buster offers. As for me saying i'd rather wipe my ass with your offer that was prob just to bust this guys balls back. Total waste of time.

and of course, you want that for each used headlight?
how about $20 for both pigtails brand new?
does that mean that 1 set of used pigtails is worth.......... 2$? 20 year old wiring? How about nothing?
Good luck finding a set in the junk yard usually once a car hits the yard ellips/ tails, radio, seats, dash, inst cluster, steering wheel gone asap! if theres a 5spd thats gone before you breathe.

click on the e30 ones then....?
click on the store.
The projectors in the angel eye ones are so much better than the ones in regular hella ellipsoids. Wish I could sell mine right now for 110$ apeice and Id order that set.
The main problem here is like selling something thats normally wholesale and comparing it to retail. So new name brand is 200 apeice but thats a rip off..... I guess if people are that out of touch with ebay and amazon and junkyards thats cool.
Get whatever you can get, especially if this is part of your job....
Thats fine. Nothing wrong with it... If I were retailing junkyard parts... thats what id shoot for sure..
That theres people spending 100 apeice on USED e30 headlights is cool.
And of course, here are the euro smileys for 160
same store. comes with the wires.Last edited by stamar; 04-10-2012, 12:11 AM.

Oh ya you know me i always take orders from babbling rude people.
Right on it rocket scientist.
Actually dont have too much else to add i hope someone was interested in the ebay links. as soon as I actually am aware of something even cheaper ill hook you up.
whats cool is they even come with the running lights. I wish mine had running lights all the time.
I have nothing against elixir the op, Just wanted to point out that offering 75$ for a used us ellipsoid sounded about 3 times what Id pay for it. Nothing wrong with offering that at all nothing idiotic.
No offense to anyone trying to sell parts for that much at all good luck.
As a matter of fact i think about getting a spot to part out e30s all the time. that doesnt mean Im ever going to pay 100$ for used headlights.Last edited by stamar; 04-10-2012, 12:31 AM.

you have no idea what your even talking about. look up on realoem.com what a REAL set of non-chinese fake leaky copies of the original headlights(for euro cars) costs, then talk to me. and just because a car is 20 summthin years old, does not mean the lights are that old.
I am not rude, I just don't ramble on about things I know nothing about.
the lights are no longer available-- except the french yellow glass-- and they are 456 dollars per side., so that is 900 dollars without bulbs or connectors-- so 180 dollars doesn't sound all that expensive for a good set anymore to me.........
what I am trying to say is there is a fake everything out there nowadays, just because it is "new" doesn't make it good.

Ok
these claim to be hellas.
Retail is just a ridiculous price. Comparing the price of used parts to new parts doesnt really sell me lol.
If brand new headlights were 400 and the chinese ones were 80$.... id still expect 24 year old hellas ones to be 25$ and Id try to bargain down from there ( 5$ or 10$ off). Is your car worth half what it cost 24 years ago?
if you find someone that thinks used car parts are worth that much, sell it to him with a smile. I dont blame you. Retail it if it sellsLast edited by stamar; 04-10-2012, 01:02 AM.

If nobody thinks $180 for used ellipsoids aren't worth buying, why anyone would buy those and why anyone would sell those for that kinda price?
I'm sure you saw those lights on r3v or bimmerforum classifieds at some point.
If 20yrs old used hellas are far worse than $180 Chinese knockoff, people wouldn't pay $180 for those. Do you honestly think people who buys used hella/boschs don't know about those ebay euro smileys? I've seen mixed reviews on ebay depo chinsese smileys and that's probably why people would rather have 24 years old headlamps over 'brand new euro smileys for $180'.
Just saying that you don't think used hellas are worth $25 doesn't mean anything. By the way, the last link you posted, that's just for a left driver's side.sigpic
