Default EBAY 2011 Headlight Conversion

Has anyone tried these. They come fully loaded while the ones from Sewell at the same price do not come fully loaded.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SET-2011...40fe00&vxp=mtr

What do you all think. I tried searching around but cant find any info on these. Should I go with the stripped version for Sewell and transfer everything over or buy these and just plug and play?

Thanks,

you dont need a fully loaded, all ISF comes with HID, so saved you $$$ just transfer everything over, and trim the brackets. Also 2011 is yellowish, 2012 is better pure white and has eyebrowns and already fixed with bubble issued.

I'm 99.9% sure your gonna have to either hard wire them or repin the lights to get the LEDs to come on and get the DRLS turned off. Could be wrong but there's only a .10% chance.

If u look at pics of Virginia Key meet up then u will see spending $2k on headlights is not half as ridiculous as spending it on purple or blue wheels or interiors that look like a 1978 pimp got ahold of their car
