Ebay Headlights?

So Im going to get the H1 retrofit, and I need a set of headlights. I found these on ebay and they almost seem to good to be true. Has anyone had experience with these? would I be better off buying a used set of used OEM or are these as good as OEM?

Here's another forum I found, I have always wanted to get a set, but not sure if they're worth the price.

 

If you are gonna retro the ebay headlights they will work just fine with a few drawbacks. The biggest being that they are made a little cheaper than the oem headlights and over time the lenses on the outside will begin to turn yellow and you will have to buff them out often. I ordered a set for my Honda Accord and had these issues after my retro fit. The good thing is if you retro the ebay headlights and something happens and you need a quick fix you could always hang on to your oem headlights and just swap them back in there.

 

Thanks for the good info man. I really would like a set of OEMs. I hope some are put up for sale in the next couple days

 

If you do decide to get the ebay ones, just make sure you seal them up with some silicone.. which you would do regardless since your doing a retro.

 

I have those on my 05 Tacoma, so far so good, after a couple of those torrential rains we had last week and before that, I don't see any condensation inside and they are a perfect fit. I bought them from another place on Ebay, it's Revotec I believe, go for it.

 

I recently bought a set of them. Sealed them up and looking good. My original headlights were real beat up so I needed a replacement. For the price, I say go for it. I'm happy with them.

 

Sweet truck, retros will look nice on it!

A guy was asking about the qaulity of a certain ebay headlight that I had purchased and had on my truck for a year. I have him a pretty decent review of the lights on the second page (post #21). Hope it helps you also.

 

Thanks man i really want more light.
and thats for the review. Im going to try and get a pair of OEMs and if I cant find any Ill be getting the ebay ones.

 

They are crap and will leak over time...

 

True...I talked to the seller of the retrofits and he/she recommends that you seal them up before you install them on to your truck!
