I'm looking for some feedback from those who may have used this site... It's called DiscountBodyParts.com. They are DIRT cheap, to the point where I doubt the legitimacy of the site. Can anyone tell me otherwise?

If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. But I have no experience with this site

Got my parts, Both headlights plastic lens with bulbs for $45 total.
Got 3 separate emails about processing, packed, and tracking #.
Shipping was quick, Securely packaged and bubble wrapped.
Delivery was on Saturday.
Would give them high marks and will do business with them again!

Now for the real test. See if They last for more than a year before getting glazed over. Just for insurance sake I would take some clear silicone and run a bead all the way around the headlight where the clear lens meets the backing.

I've found a majority of aftermarket headlights are not sealed well and end up allowing moisture into the headlight that causes fogging and then permanent damage.
