buyer's remorse? 200

Situation: I bought an aftermarket e-code headlight system from fcpgroton about two months ago. I had every intention of making these work, powering them from the battery with relays for maximum output. "I'll use these until I find some genuine Cibies," I said. Last night, however, a set was available on ebay (from a fellow B-Boarder) and, after some thought, I bought them, for $350 plus shipping. My fcp kit cost $300. I don't think I can return them as it's been over a month (their policy). So I will put these on eBay hoping I can get at least $250 for them. If anyone is interested in these, let me know via Email @ patrick.mchugh@yahoo.com. It's a complete set with corners, lamps, trim pieces, and bulbs. The quality looks good and the adjusters are easy to move with your fingers. I had every intention on putting these on, but I could not resist the real stuff. I have some buyer's remorse, but I think it will pass once I get them installed. Here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=009&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190063425513&rd=1,1

you need to do what I am doing with my FCP kit... get another 240 on which to install them.

the DJ Autos are good but not quality. I have to remove them AGAIN to redo the mounting studs -this time w/ JB Weld.

It's the first time in my automotive life that I've ever needed to use the JB stuff.

I desperately want a REAL Cibie set myself.
