These are $3 BIN and $25 shipping. Not mine.
Look low quality, but for $28 what do you expect. Could still be a pretty decent deal.

I went to the APC website and looked you can see who is selling them. There's only a few companies that are actually producing the H4's . A lot selling them. Actually pepboys and others stock some of them. On another post guy said he bought a pair at advanced auto for something like $ 40. I went to mine they didn't carry but could order. Just check around

Hey guys, just to let you know, I think Rick's (Board supporting member) sells these also for just a couple of dollars more than what you're gonna get them off ebay. I'm all for saving money, but I bet Rick would be a lot easier to work with if something went wrong and a return or replacement was necessary. Just something to think about. I'm sure other vendors on here (GMCPauls, Tim Christian, Mothertruckers etc. also carry them) Help support the guys who support this great board................Jerry

I bought Hellas for my truck. They were glass, and I love them. These cheap ones look like they may be plastic, which could be a pain if they ever crack or yellow.

Thanks Bamm 24 for the promotional work, but I just want to make sure that no one thinks that the ones I have are the cheap ass plastic ones, the ones I have are all glass and DOT approved and are a direct replacement (no mods)

He has a web site, I think it's www.****************.com

I bought a set identical to the ones in the first link, from a different seller (Before I knew that Rick had them). They're glass, and all that's needed is a little trimming on the headlight bucket, for the "city light" (I think that's what they call it). I only have one installed right now, but I can already tell there's going to be a HUGE difference.
