yea, fu*k UPS man...thats why there people are going to court with them because brokerage charges are some what of a "hidden charge" that the receiving end has to pay without knowing before hand of the extra costs...

totally agree, like I said, it's a crapshoot, you never know how much brokerage you'll have to pay, what the hell, there should be some sorta standards in place

glad to hear they didn't charge you anything for it

[ctgazer]

yah, ive seen that one...i thought that the headlights are changeable from inside the engine bay...i just removed it a couple weeks ago for the lux 2.0 install...my lip covers the screws so its kinda difficult to get to plus i dont own a jack

i was thinking the same too....the box is blank.....

the bulbs are blank....no writing or whatsoever!

The OEM says OSRAM on it......

[ehhhwik]

hmm, for my bulbs, on the plastic packaging, it says mccollah (sorry my english is bad)

[ctgazer]

oh well, if we've been had, we've been had...i looked quickly for a real pic of a mccolloch bulb but cant find one...also looked in my manual and it says i dont have to take off the darn inner wall....gonna go give it a shot now

[canucklion]

turn the wheel from side to side

I'd imagine the manufacturers would label the bulbs at least
