    US Ellips worth $70 shipped?

    I've been offered some US ellipsoids for $70 shipped. Here are pictures. Are they worth it?

      Oh yeah. I know that the demand for US DOT spec ellipsoids have diminished over the years with all of the better alternatives out there but US spec ellipsoids are still expensive brand new. $70 shipped is a great deal for all 4 with buckets.

        umm yeah.

        Your sealed beams aren't worth the $40 new that they cost :-D

                          They're H4 lows with Osram Silverstars and H3 highs with Osram Supers. They highbeams are great, but both lowbeams are cracked. Although the cracks have been covered with epoxy so there isn't a leakage issue.
                          They're bright as shit.
                          Although I told Ryan I'd sell them to him, if I can get a significantly better offer than $45 shipped (like $65), I may be forced to entertain it. But I'll most likely sell them to Ryan.[/img]

                            Doug,
                            I've got a nice pair of metal headlight baskets that you'll need for the Cibie's. Email me and we'll work them into the deal.
                            Thanks,
                            Ken

                              The H4/H3's probably will put out better light output. I would hold off selling them if I was you.

                              US spec stuff is junk.
