OK...I got them on EBay from the same seller on two auctions...

This was clearly listed.....I got lucky there wasn't a mad rush on it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4532167515&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

THe glow relay was misdescribed as listed.....look at the photo....obviously a W116 Glow relay...

Hey, wait a minute... that auction has the high bidder listed as The Virginia Dude. You obviously didn't win. Sorry about your luck.

Great find!

Well about Half my orders from him were from before I ever read about our fellow members trials and tribulations with him.

But when he offers me something at half the price most others have it....and I need it I jump at the chance. I'm not exactly rolling in money...
