with ebay headlights they're pretty reliable, if and only if you take precautions. If you decide to pick up a pair you must seal them yourself. or they will leak. also make sure they have a dot number of you could get into some trouble for that. Other than that they're decent.

^^ Yep, what he said.

Just make sure you seal it yourself so they don't leak.

They look good and I haven't had any problems with condensation but the light output on them are just AWFUL.
