• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

HID Kits

Not open for further replies.
Just to throw in my .02, for 04+ the HIGH beam is a 9005 and the LOW is 9006, and would we really have to disable the DRL's? I thought that our DRL's were the amber turn signals? If that's the case would we even have any issues just putting in HID's w/o doing anything else i.e: the adding or removal of relays or even a delay switch like Webracin has?
 


Yes on 04-05 the DRL's are the fogs. They changed for 06-08. Mine are the low beam headlights and they run at 7-9 volts during daytime and full voltage at night. So to answer your question no wouldn't have the same problem I have. Not a real big deal just another thing that sucks about the 06+.

You are correct with the numbers on the 04+. I checked sylvainia for lamps.

9005 = 04+ High beam
9006 = 04+ Low beam

Based on this I'll go back with the 9006 6000K
 
couple of questions....kinda new to the grand prix work

i have a 2005 grand prix if i wanted just the low beam (9006)and fog what kit would i need for the fogs.....and is anything else i would need to do i was reading were some people were talking about having to modify the kits to work. And when would we have to have the $?
 
Still have not heard from Dave, so I am going to send another email to him tonight in hopes that something happened to the first one.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks

Ok guys and gals...

I finally got an email back from Dave, and I really didnt like what he had to say, and coupled with some of the other experiences others have had with VME, I decided to go with someone else.

Dave wanted you guys to send me the money, and then me order the kits all at one time. I guess that way I would have to eat all the paypal charges and the shipping to your door.

Anyway, I have found another deal that is real close to the same price shipped, and you can buy them out right. Just do me a favor.....when you order the lights and put in the bulb type, color, and daytime phone number as requested, put down GRANDPRIXFORUMS.NET under that....

Here is the link, you guys can go ahead and buy whenever your ready.....PLEASE post up your thoughts of the kit...

any body tried or bought these yet...i may have to give them a try.....
 
man these kits are def. getting cheaper....did you kit fit properly(plug and play)?
 
I don't know how they can get that cheap when standard type bulbs are $20 a pair. I have called all my reps who deal with HID's and none of them can get me anything even close (cheapest is over $200 dealer cost)

Click to expand...

someone mentioned them comming from out of the u.s. maybe that is why but i dunno
 
just seems weird that the only place you find them is ebay, where a legitimate company can't even go double the price (I have access to chinese stuff and they can't even touch that deal)
 
$68.98 shipped. i also recommend to get the harness from this guy. $15 shipped he ship the harness over nite, so you get it the next day. for the hid kit you'll get it in like 3 days. btw both the hid and harness were on clubgp group buy.

3B Specialties
 
Interesting. Just to be clear, $68.98 for dual beam tilting/telescopic HID kit? This kit includes the control harness to keep the HID's on going from high to low? Where is the price adjustment taken from the $49 for the kit and $65 for shipping?
 


i didn't get the dual beam so i'm not sure on that. i ordered a 6000k, i never see any little blue hue like they said. it's mostly all white but that doesn't matter it's the brghtness that i like.
