"peeling"? What is there to peel?[/align][/align]I've got a set of "smoked" headlights from eBay/Blue Oval (about $100 shipped) that have been on for a year/31k miles--they look great with nothing but keeping the bug guts cleaned off...[/align]

I have ebay lightsaswell and water gets in them really bad. I tried to seal them with hot glue but it didn't work to good. Is there a way to help this problem?

all lights you buy, no matter where from should be sealed, so go ahead and seal em up, but the peeling over time is inevitable

really, ok well hopefully the peeling wont take place too fast. ima def take some rtv to the back of em tho..

my light also come with XENON #9007 BULBS
does anyone have these, or know how bright they will be. i have stock bulbs so anything will be an improvement. i was planning on getting silverstars, but these came with the lights and only cost me about 10bucks more than just the lights

my smoked headlights don't peel, i don't think there is anythign on them to peel. just make sure you align the bulbs good, in the dark i can't see that well with mine, even with high beams
