Pretty Ballzy to sell them on ebay if this is the case. I mean I checked his feedback and found the majority of his sales where in ballast, headlights, bulbs. I guess the buyers are willing to turn a blind eye to where he got these parts to save a bundle.
Hell if someone can try to sell parts of the Space Shuttle Columbia after it broke up during re-entry on Ebay, anything is possible.
All I have to say is I'm glad I'm living no where near elkins park, PA.
I wish they would come up with some kinda protection that if a headlight is removed forcefully that it doesnt just fry the ballast or bulbs, something like self destruction. That's where their meat and potatoes comes from, not the headlight housing, thats just a bonus if they manage to salvage it. If they did come up with something like that (hey, its late here and my brain needs food for thought at work) it could be a deterrent.

Could be stuff from a mechanics shop. I've gotten stuff like this from my buddies shop. Small accident happens to break the tab on head/tail light, but there isn't any outer damage. Could be stolen, might be legit. No real way to tell.

If there are a lot of those specific cars in the area, then its possible. I've seen about 5 or 6 sets of RSX headlights from in my mechanics shop, broken tabs or not. You'd be surprised how many you can find.
As to stolen goods, my friends car got stolen and parked a little ways from his house. Stole his cd player and bowling shoes. Kinda funny, but messed up.

if it was accident headlights.. why only headlights from HID standard vehicles? why not every other kind of vehicle...
i dotn know, maybe they are stolen, maybe they are not.. just struck me as a little suspicious though. i should have put a question mark in my title.

Yeah stop snitchin.
Just buy a set from him and have him meet you for local pickup that coincidentally is at a 2nd gen TL NYC meet. Then we'll have some real street justice. =)
