Canada 2004 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver
Just Received 2010 Headlights, Head already hurts.

So I payed about 600GBP delivered for these headlights. The seller sent me pictures which clearly don't resemble what I got. I was told all tabs were intact, not the case. I was told they included everything, not the case. I was told that asides a bit of fogginess the headlights were in excellent condition, clearly not the case. So while I was sobbing over the headlights and their condition, I realized that one of the headlights was missing its bulb, yaaaaay. So now I have been searching for bulbs among other things; and came across these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/6000K-D3S-Xenon-HI...mp;vxp=mtr

Would they work in the 2010 headlights? Also has anyone made a transaction on here strictly through paypal(not involving eBay), the reason I ask is so I can figure out what I can do with these headlights at this moment.

Any advice or help will be appreciate Smile

Asad






UPDATE: So got a partial refund from the seller. The pair of headlights originally cost me roughly $980, got a $340 refund so now they ended up costing $640 which is about 347GBP I think.
*Lesson Learned*: If buying from eBay and you end up with an item you genuinely feel depressed about Laughing because you have a genuine cause to, HAMMER away at PayPal/eBay/God, heck who ever is in some position of power in the situation and is willing to be bothered by you Cool.

Now just have to buy either a single bulb for one of the headlights, or just buy a pair and have two new bulbs in both headlights Smile Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

If you paid by gift, paypal wont help you.

If you paid the 'proper' way, you can return them as they are not as described.

I don't understand the paid by gift. I can post the invoice and see if that helps. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

Hi, when you pay through paypal you can specify if the payment is for goods or services or is for a gift. Some people specify a gift to avoid acharges but you lose the chance to claim as you have said no goods were involved. Hope this makes sense. Mick.

VeryDisco, my thoughts exactly. But I keep thinking that it's one broken tab (which can be repaired) and the glass can always be buffed, and I can try and get her to refund me for the bulbs. Plus I got the pair for only 600GBP, that was the cheapest on eBay considering the price, and my goal was to keep this entire conversion under 1400GBP which I have been able to do so far until this hickup. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

Hey Mick thanks for clarifying that, makes sense now. I am not really sure if it was a gift or not to be honest, I just paid the invoice that the seller and I agreed on and that was the end of that, feel like a total imbecile right now Embarassed Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

I received most of the broken tab pieces in the container which is leading me to believe that it was damaged during shipment, so that might be a different matter entirely, however this missing bulb and the ghastly amount of scratches on one of the headlights is definitely due to the seller. Zambezi Silver Range Rover (2010 Autobiography Facelift)

If you decide to keep them I have seen kits to buff the scratches from caravan windows, maybe worth a look as i would imagine materials are very similar. Mick.

I have removed a lot of scratches out of plastic lamps with caravan acrylic window polish.

It's a Fenwicks product although when I was doing my Volvo a neighbour commented that 3M and Farecla both do a product specifically for it that was very good..he also recommended a variable speed buffer and foam pad

Best of luck, but for 600 quid they look pretty awful Sad Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Hey Mick yep thanks for that heads up, just looked into it; came across another forum (Campers forum) and they recommended this to another fella:
