i recall reading a post a while by i think porschettr that he can source the hella 90s for the cdn members. i can't seem to find that post anymore. was wondering what the going price of the hella 90s are if sourced through him...
I dont know what he was selling them for but I bought mine for $115 US. They were H9's and now they have been converted for D2S, I'm selling them if you, or anyone is interested.
P.S. I have a mangled set of working K4100 D2R Philips (supposedly) in them right now (they did the trick for me) I'll through them in for free.
Im in Toronto so I cant imagine shipping is a big deal, as far as price goes, I have know Idea.
Maybe we can get help in this regard, from people like herman or Josch... anyone.
Whats fair?
sounds like both of u are in canada.... postage should be RUGHLY be around $8-11 for surface for those 2 hella 90mm Add insurance premium $1, its worth it. I have had canpost "loose" 2 out of 10 shipments I have done last 2 years.

Sounds good, only question is, what do the people of this forum think (roughly) they are worth$$$.
I know there are a bunch of varialbles but if we can get a rough Idea we can move forward with this.
Herman, what did you charge?
They are 3months old used on my car for about 3 weeks and they were in the headlight housing so the lenses have never been touched by road matter... perfect.
Byron, if you like the price and want to drive in you can take a look before you purchase, thats probably best for everyone considering Hermans experience with the postal service, I'm sure you'll like what you see.
Kinda stupid pricing for shipping but if you order more than 1, I guess it's worth it.
Actually I got mine for $100 tax-in each from a local shop,but I would never recommend them to anyone.
I am planning to file a law**** against them.
I guess I don't understand the deal about getting stuff from the USA into Canada; Rallylights.com sells the 90mm low or high beams for $60 US each with connector, and will ship to Canada. Is there some kind of outrageous duty fee at the border that rules out doing it that way?
Table below is more or less what screws up most private canadian importers selecting what they think is the most economical: ground transport. Table is from UPS, but other private curiurs are just as bad. Note that the outrages brokarage fees are for ground shipment only, so always consider expedited or express, total might cheaper. A better choice is always USPS shipments - if seller offers it. Shipment will end up at Canada Post which will only charge $5 (can) brokerage fee plus 15% taxes.
So importing two Hella 90mm from south of border will end up (note that u actually pay tax on both shipping and brokerage fees):
about the free trade agreement. apparently it only applies to businesses and only if the item is made in mexico, u.s. or canada. for items that are purchased for personal level, it seems it does not apply. sux i tell ya!
So if I was to sell the pre-described 90s on e-bay what do people think I could get for them.
Range?
If I keep them around my shop much longer I'll make an excuse to start a new project.
My impression is that for any new unused article for sale on ebay, there is very few ppl that are willing to pay more than 70% of its value. Unless a product is impossible to find on the marked. (That is not the case with HElla 90m modules)
