Default EBAY headlights

Does anyone have experience with these? how do they fit? look? do they last awhile? anyone find them at a good cost or does anyone know of any other headlights that look good?

im pretty sure they are very very poor quality.

from what ive grown to understand -----e bay lights in general are sub par in alot of ways.

the chrome in the back of my lights is chipping off and the hangers where they connect to the subframe are broken thats why I need new ones. I can clean the lenses.

I tried the ebay lights when they first came out, first off you cannot put regular bulbs in them which means you have to replace the entire light when they burn out? Maybe they have changed this since then. You cannot aim the lights, they will always be in the trees; you turn the screws but the lights do not move! They are way more dim than the factory headlights. Oh, you will try to aim them and turning the screws pops the halos off on the inside of the lights... you will be lucky if you can get the halos to work. One light quit working after about two weeks, the ebay guy said he would replace the part but I had to send a "deposit" to get a third light so I would not be driving totally without one headlight.... pretty soon all three of them stopped working and I never got the money back even though I paid $40ish to ship all three lights back... should I keep going?

You would be much better off finding some cheap, fogged up factory lights and reconditioning them. You can take them apart and paint them or do whatever you want to and you will still be able to aim them.
