So I will start a new thread...

================================================== =====
I just received these today, they are virtually identical to the OEM housings--the exception being the clear sidelight/reflector.



Materials, assembly, fit and finish were as good as they could be; in fact better than those I bought 3-1/2 years and 75k miles ago to replace the OEM headlights that were cloudy and fogged up after 3 years and 30k miles.

These were $89.99 w/ free shipping, looks like I'll be set for another 3-1/2 years...
Hey guys I have these lights. I was going to buy the smoked lights from AM (200 bucks) but decided to take a chance with these guys. A + SHIPPING and lights worked and look fantastic..

I have the smoked version of these headlights. Feel free to look at my sig pic to see how dark they are. I can still see fine at night, although I may get some HID's soon.

I regret buying the ones from AM for 188 when i could have just paid $90... Live and learn. I'm pissed. And my headlights are peeling on the outside (the tinted coat) so i am f*ckin pissed. I wonder if AM will do anything about it bc i've only had em for no more than 2 years...

That (the peeling) is what happened to the set I got from Blue Oval 3-1/2 years ago--though they held up for 3 years/70k miles before it started...

Really? I'm guessing you didn't try contacting them for a faulty product or anything bc they just seem to get weathered like that i assume?

I am SOL i think. But i'll be going ebay now. I have heard a couple good reviews about them and this post was the last one i needed to hear. Now i just need to remember the company name you got it from on ebay

My lights arent THAT bad yet, but its enouhg to bother me

The ebay headlights are what's up. I paid 55$ for mine, got the HID lights in them too. VERY bright, and they look excellent. Nice and clean.
