im sure theyll work and look great, only thing to watch out for is shitty sealing, so they might fog up, but who knows, i could be wrong.

simple fix is to go around the outside of the light and reseal it before you even use it. as far as the quality im not sure but the main thing would be the seal as previously stated. ofcourse you could also follow up on a DIY here on the board.

Interesting, I hadn't seen this style before I always just come across the ones with the flat gunmetal housing or flat black, they seem like their probably the closest to the real ctr headlights. I definitely would like to see them installed on a car.

i bought black housing lights, not off ebay, and they began to leak after a few months, luckily they had the factory drains. anyways go to autozone, get a tube or two of clear RTV silicone. its your best friend. cut the tip as small as possible to get it down in the cracks and use your finger to smooth over and press into tight spots. i did this in about 5 min and shut the hood hasnt leaked since. good luck
