SO whats ur take on buying stolen HIDs?

peiqinglong · 08-10-03, 03:30 AM

If i didn't ahve money and wanted HIDs...yes...but it would be have to be dirt cheap because "what goes around comes around" is my motto.

*rominl* · 08-10-03, 05:12 AM

i wouldn't, just for the moral of it

No. I usually follow the "How would I feel if it happened to me", rule when it comes to these type of things. I just bought the 6000K lows and fogs, so if someone fucked with them I would kill them.

i believe that what goes around comes around too...but... wat if u didnt know. wat u dont know wouldnt hurt u

i dont know, but to be honest... i probably would.

hondabob · 08-10-03, 11:52 AM

I wouldn't.

a. It's immoral. What if the HIDs belonged to someone on this board?
b. A lot of those things end up on eBay with broken ballasts and the sellers claim that they are from "accident damage". There's a fair chance that those lights haven't been tested and that they won't work.

Just based on the damage caused with the theft, you would have to be an fn moron to buy these.

If you get a set of HID's for $100-200 from someone you dont know, and you dont know they are stolen, you shouldnt be driving a vehicle.

If someone stole mine and I needed a replacement then I probably would buy stolen ones if they were cheap. If I needed them to upgrade something then I wouldnt buy stolen ones

Pure Adrenaline · 08-10-03, 06:10 PM

If you buy stolen ones, that only increases the demand for theft of HID's. Therefore my answer is no.

Hell NO! Bad Karma. Just don't want any negative vibes, especially on a vessel that carries people I care about.

If you buy something you have reason to believe is stolen you are just as much a thief as the person who did the theft.

i bout a set off ebay....i think thy may have been stolen, but the guy gave me a VIN number, and had decent feedback...they both worked, and were it good shape...either way, i bought them for my fogs, and ditn end up doing it ( i have a 2000...was gonna use maxima fogs, but it ended totaling like $800)...so vjiaytl's got stolen...and he drove down here and we installed em in his car ....
