There is an additional weather cap that goes on the back, apparently not included with the auction. Take a close look at the second auction pic... you can see the mounting ears.
Here's a pic of the missing cap and spring clamp that holds it on... also, at the lower right of my pic, note the socket that the ball on the end of the rod clips into. That socket is made up of 4 easily breakable tabs. It's not clear from the pic whether these are intact. I seriously doubt the ball-socket thingy is available separately. I don't know if the weather cap is available separately, but you might want to check unless your car never sees rain. Even then, washing the car would carry a risk of having water splash directly on the backside of the bulb, possibly getting into the housing.

Without the plastic cap/socket/seal, these would leak water like a seive. Here is another view:
If he has removed the lamps from his car, he needs to include that part.
Besides that you need the plug and the rubber boot that seals the plug from weather. That's part of the harness. Other than a donor Euro car, I don't know how you would get that. I have only found unpotected plugs.
You can use the balljoint that is on the US mouting bracket. That balljoint should have been left on the Euro mounting bracket (big aluminuim U with motor) , which I got with my H4s.
