djsubtronic Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm looking to buy these DRLs to fit into my MK2.5 Focus: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111196703892?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT As they appear a lot cheaper than the ones on thespeedline, but seem to be the exact same product. Anyone have any experience with eBay user linlishan0768? Or from general personal experience buying parts for your cars from Chinese eBay sellers, would you recommend paying double and going for the more expensive kit at thespeedline?

Dee_82 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 the question is around quality, do you go for something that costs more knowing its good quality gear or go cheap an hope it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee_82 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 What you do know is that a Brand has a reputation to maintain, They probably do come from the same factory but may have a much higher degree of QC, much like an iPhone is made in china right along side the GooPhone Chinese knock off, which do you think will have better QC, maybe the same maybe not ;) at the end of the day we all roll the dice, if your lucky then you saved yourself a few quid, if not, then you have a problem to deal with. I got the speedline ones and they have been faultless, sturdy design no hassle at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff55 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 avoid avoid avoid. i buy tons of stuff on eBay but never anything electrical / electronic from the far east. if the goods are naff / faulty , you will only get a refund if the item is returned via international tracked parcel service - at your expense and that will cost you at least half the value of those drl's. and even if the lights work i guarantee you the fixing tabs on the fog grills snap straight off at the first attempt at fitting........

djsubtronic Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hmmm thanks for the replies guys. I might wait a while and get the speedline ones, if anything the extra cost will buy me peace of mind :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
