Personally, I would stay away from eBay when buying car parts, unless it's Mrmazda7.
That would be a good deal but there's really no way to prove if that's another Chinese rip-off product labeled as NGK. An example of this would be the Philips HID Kits they sell on eBay. They swear they are Philips Germany but if you contact Philips from their website or check their website in general, they do not sell HID KIDS. Just OEM bulbs, which are about 5x the price.

If you have a Grand Touring Model or a car that comes with HIDs that you already have an OEM ballast and all you would need is to replace the bulbs. If you go that route, you might as well go to v-leds. They sell the best for the price IMO.

Also, even if someone has a high feedback rating,
that's usually because buyers usually leave feedback when they receive the product not until it's been tested and you cannot alter your feedback you've left for someone. So It's kind of useless.

The spark plugs/wires looks to be a good deal as NGK is a common brand for RX-8 owners. *edit* they're right, can't completely trust that they're legit NGKs*

Please, for the love of all things holy, do NOT put that spoiler on an '8. That's just awful. Save that $100 and put it into this list: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/congratulations-you-got-8-a-202548/.

There are other threads about going HID. Search for them and you'll find them.

Advice: Don't do it.

More Advice: Support one of the rx8club's vendors and purchase from them.


Last bit of advice: Your written English needs work.

Your car likely already has HID lights. Unless you have the base model which came with Halogen bulbs.

Please don't buy that wing...
And as far as plugs get them from rockauto.com , they are just as cheap if not cheaper than this ebay ad.
