Lmao yeah, I didn't take those pictures..but anyway, thanks for the info. I like to play with photography here and there just for fun, like more than just taking snapshots of new progress and parts. I have a Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS. It takes good pictures, but it tends to act really retarded and will refuse to focus and do other stuff. I was looking at Nikons as well. I wanted to have better quality pics of Sof.

I have one of these, a Rebel XS to be more specific. It takes awesome pictures. After using it, I can't stand taking pictures with a "regular" digital camera. The quality just doesn't compare.

Ebay prices vary. You'd be the biggest idiot ever to pay $500 for aftermarket headlights. I think OEM replacements right from GM would probably cost less. I got my headlights (exact same style) with parking lights for $120 shipped from Ebay.

There is a HUGE difference in what is wholesale and what is retail. I am going to guess that the guy selling these on E-bay is only making $10-$20 per set, but if he can move high numbers then he can make good money. He has just about the entire ANZO line so he is selling for a large number of cars. His volume can also translate into lower prices from ANZO since he is a frequent buyer. Another thing that some E-bayers do is sell scratch and dent, tell you it is brand new (which it is) but they get them from the factory at HUGE discounts and sell for the same at no damage stuff. In the case of these lights they are always sold as a pair, what if one of the pair is damaged after manufacture... ANZO sells to him for $20 per set, one damaged one good... get the oppisite light and sell both as new as a set... There are many diffferent scenerios that could be going on here. I got mine, they were from ANZO but in generic boxes. Also check out ANZO's website and the MSRP on these are in the $300 range, that does not mean that the reseller is paying that price it just means that is what ANZO thinks they are worth.

We need to move this conversation to PMs or a new thread. This is for pictures of the cars and comments about the pictures. Could an Admin please move the last couple of posts to a new thread? I can continue from there explaining how to install the lights or at least how I did it.

Once again, to each his own! Don't say something like that. That could be offensive! I'm pretty ****ing sure I wasn't dropped when I was a baby... And I'd rather have the LT nose than the LS nose...
