Default Ebay "JDM" plastic black housing headlights 2 piece

Did anybody try these headlights yet?

I hit a deer few days back now I need a new headlight and new corner light, so I was wondering if these headlights work and last good?

For $55 a pair, I wouldn't expect much in terms of quality or lighting performance. In my opinion, headlights aren't something you want to skimp on.

replacement glass headlights are $40 each, not that much more. I was just trying to see if someone tried these

ebay headlights are what you pay for them... i would sugest getting one piece headlights if you are going to get them from ebay they are easyer to get them to fit corectly

Yeah i've bought 3 different types of projector headlights from ebay for different cars and each time the headlights always fog. Never had that problem with stock...

I got mine off eBay about a year ago...no lighting or fitment issues, but the passenger side amber corner gets condensation in it when it rains. Other than that, they're not too shabby for ~$100 shipped.

buy it, if it fogs or gets any condensation just take some clear silicon and re-seal everything.

i bought these about a year ago. and im very very happy with them. and theyre not plastic. theyre glass. fitment was near perfect for me. the corners have not leaked like the other ebay ones do. plus it came the the socket, harness, and the hole for city lights. deffinatly worth what i payed for them. ive seen some shitty lights on ebay but i love these.

ive got the TYC black housing ones. They're plastic with the citylight addition. Have been in 2 frontend accidents, and only the bracket to the headlight itself broke. Ive had them for 2 years and only a few scratches. I like how they look with everything else on my car (blends) and just about everyone in my area loves them as well. Light output is pretty decent, upgrading to a HID based buld (stay off my nuts about not doin a retrofit) because the lens isnt flutted like the stock ones, and i need a brighter blub for driving in the rain.

can you post a pic of your car from a different angle? i cant decide between the ones with the black housing, or the amber housing

my car is phantom grey (toyota) so im thinking the black housing might look better, but im still curious.

thanks

when you get them just go around the seal with silicone just in case... ebay headlights are notorious for fogging.
