    They definitely look like mine....
    Headlights Depot.
    "Eagle Eyes"
    great light output. Bulbs are already installed.
    Plug-N-Play
    Great price!
    I figure if they last 4-5 years I'm ahead of the curve.
    I drilled little 1/8" holes in the bottom of the lens.

    But.....you did say that you drilled holes in the bottoms, right? So I would expect that after constant exposure to precipitation.

    Yes. If I had not drilled tiny holes in the bottom, there would be about a cup full of water in each one.
    :D
    Prolly a gallon.
    I have had them for 5 years.

    Like I.… Would NOT pay $50- per headlight.
    I would expect to see used car dealers do it tho.

    I am sure I paid the higher price.
    What I received were Eagle Eyes? type headlights.
    It could have been worse, I'm sure.
    Spyder sells the same stuff at an inflated price.
    I did allot of on-line examinating.
    Amazon sells the same one's drop-shipped from Headlights Depot.

    I’ve not tested them, but any aftermarket light will not perform as well as stock.
