    Just another data point...

    Seller revotek on Ebay also sells the Eagles Eyes HLs. I ran them for awhile, no leaks, but I found that the light pattern was not as good as stock. Not dangerous mind you, just not as well distributed as the stockers. Looked great though. I ended up finding a good deal on a set of the smoked HLs. IMHO, the black HLs look better, but I wanted the stock light distribution and didn't want to jack around any more with the BHLM (mine BHLM didn't turn out so well).

    I wasn't too crazy taking my stock apart and possibly changing my mind after the BHLM, so I ordered a set from eBay for $120 shipped. Love it!! Install took 45mins for both. 4th bolt uses a 10mm socket, get to it by removing the front screw of the plastic fenderwall and pulling it straighten down to give you access. I was able to re-install that bolt no probs! I have added T-Rex angry eyelids since then. No current pics of the eyelids.

    Same bulbs and bulb holders. You can just untwist your original bulbs/holders and then twist 'em into the new ones.

    Did you get the headlights only or the fogs as well? Do you mind giving the specs of the HIDs you got as well as the seller?
    Thanks!

    I got mine over a week ago, and finally got around to opening the box last night.
    My first impression is that the lights look good! The packaging was decent and they put plastic wrap (similar to cling wrap) over the lenses for protection during shipping.
    I decided to run a bead of silicone around the seal to ensure they will not fog up. (I have used cheap after market headlights on previous vehicles and they always fogged, so I didn't want to take the chance with these).

    The silicone is drying, and I am hoping I will have time to put them on this weekend. Here are some pics of the lights, and I will get some more after I install.

    The plastic cling wrap is still on there. I will remove after I install.

    you can see the added silicone here. I used Black silicone:
