I have a set of Smoked ones that are the same ones you see often on ebay. I sealed them when I got them, following this guide from AM and they are great. No complaints, and half the price.

Mine sealed fine off of ebay and they look great for $75. The only issue is that the rubber along the top of one of the headlights is peeling off after a month. Lame...

I bough a set advertised on eBay from an outfit called Blue Oval Industries over 3 years ago , they fit and have held up fine. However the fellow that answered the phone, when I called to let them know the packaging sucked and had broken open in shipping (the housings were OK), was a real dick--I would not have wanted to call with a problem.
I had heard a lot of horror stories about BOI but I liked their headlights so I got them anyways. I wasn't overly impressed with the initial fitment so I called the guy to discuss with them about it. He was very responsive at first, but then just disappeared a few short days later. After a lot of adjusting the headlights look alright....

They are all made in China--probably in the same factory...

I've actually heard from individuals who claim to have done a little more checking on all of these headlight housings and they say the same thing.

the rubber around the headlights that you see when they are installed is garbage and they crack/come off...if u seal em they wont leak but that rubber piece makes em look terrible, wish i just bought from american muscle, but i dont own that car anymore so now its somebody elses problem lol
