Spyder Projector Headlights? HELP!
no do not order anything coming from Spyder Auto. I ordered the same headlights from a different site, but the supplier that was sending it out was Spyder Auto. They sent an e-mail to the site I ordered to saying that it shipped 10/6. Never receiving another e-mail nor my package for a long *** time, I e-mailed them to see what's going on. When I got an e-mail back on 10/30, the supplier (Spyder) apparently was re-doing the mold on the headlights to make them street legal and never even shipped them out yet, but they never even informed the site or me about it. Then afterwards, they apparently didn't even have any in stock when I asked the site to tell them to send me the original. So I ordered the other pair of halo projector headlights that were on the site, which was supplied by Spyder Auto. I guess they didn't have those in stock either cuz they had the wrong inventory on their computers, and they also ignored the site that i ordered from's e-mails to cancel the order for like 2 weeks.
Here is the last e-mail I got from the site..
"Turns out they do not have them. They had the wrong inventory on their computers. My suggestion to you, never order something from spyderauto.com - they are a terrible company that has been jerking both of us around."

I was looking at those and the options ones on andysautosport. I emailed them and they said they have had better feedback on the spyders. I decided I didnt want halos and found some euro style on carparts-online.de.
they were like 100 euro plus 55 shipping but if you order anything else it should be included in the shipping so I ordered headlights and clear sidemarkers as well. also asked for a refund in the tax which they did.
It took a while for me to end up paying for them, missed the paypal button i guess because the page was in german but they have good customer support and i ended up making the payment on thursday so im just waiting and hoping they are decent quality.
I asked some dude from the netherlands that ordered them from ebay and he said the projectors were glass.
if your not in a hurry ill post them up for people to see when i get and install them but that probably is a couple of weeks away as I have a 1998 and am gonna have to do a little fender modification.

I have the same chrome ones you are talking about on my white B5 and they make it look so much better. I had to splice wires and haven't made them fit perfectly yet, but they look great. They are also much brighter than the stock ones. No complaints thus far.
yoo dude be careful because ebay headlights, especially the clear corners fog up and have **** fitment. I bought a set of corners and there's a huge gap between them and the body. you gotta check out my HIDs sometime when you come home for break.

They are made by the company Helix, which I think is comparable to Depo. There is no splicing, its just plug and play. Also the seller seems to know about the fitment on B5s, and not just selling a random product. Ive used Depos on my Mazda 323 and I was very impressed with the quality. The ones on Ebay that I think everyone is freaking out about are the ones with the 3 led "style" lights.
