Default New Aftermarket LED headlights

has anybody bit the bullet on these???? The company says they will work with the xenon AFS headlights and for an extra $90 you can get a modular that allows the auto level function

Please Reply and lets get some pix up!!!!

if they are anything like the "aftermarket" SCx00 headlights, stay away. aftermarket headlights usually have something wrong with them, whether it be a soft plastic lense that scratches easy or they dont fit quite right.

Those projectors look like they won't produce a lot of light.

Don't expect quality in that Chinese made headlights. Prepare for moisture leaks and cheap plastic housing.

too cheap, even if they sold $300 for a pair, I still have to think twice about buying it.

I once bought TYC taillights for my 2005 Scion xA from eBay...WORST PIECES OF CRAP EVER MADE!!! (Maybe they were knockoffs). They cracked after a week and started leaking like crazy...Never again would I buy some ebay lamps (bulbs maybe but not assemblies).

I had those headlights and the projectors with a morimoto 5k hid bulb had way better output and a sharper cutoff than the OEM output.

However when I got them they were $280. Not worth it at $600...
