Authorities are withholding information, as there is a pending investigation. They have revealed, that a "person of interest" is in custody. Meanwhile, the search goes on for the missing ACA headlights. A coordinated effort of local, county, and state, complimented by volunteers, are searching daily. John M. Smith, of the Phallus Valley search and rescue team commented "given the amount of time the ACA headlights have been missing, the opportunity for a positive outcome is slim".

There gone from Ebay and it's return doesnt look good. Something about the company that made them went belly up. But I have good news for you, JWM has a group buy going on now. I just ordered them from him for 400.00 and thats with the HID kit. It's a little more $$ than the Ebay ones but if you want them bad enough it looks like he's the only one right now offering them.

Well that sucks. I kept meaning to pick a set up. I thought there was a few places selling them, guess thats what I get for procrastinating.

Purchased mine about 2 months ago, so guess I lucked out. Whew! Bought the HID kit about a month ago and getting ready to install it all.

Lucky, I have heard that given the very nature of headlights it was thought that looking for them at night would help but the red top optima batterys are also gone from eebay and therefore the night searches have been disappointig as well. Officials say that there is no DRL feature so the overall outlook is bleak...
LOL
