    Well, I have had these on for about 7 months now and this morning, when I walked into the garage I noticed the top of both headlights were hazy. Upon closer inspection it appears the "clear" coat on the headlights is peeling off :mad:

    I will post up some pictures after I get off work but I was wondering if anyone else is dealing with this?

    Aftermarket headlights are shit. BHLM and do it right, and it'll last as long as the OEM stuff.

    Got a bunch of ebay lovers in here I see. You gotta be really careful about what you buy on there, and from who.
    Ebay was great in the beginning about 10 years ago. Now it's full of rip-off artists and cheap Chinese knock-off crap. No offense to the Chinese. I happen to love their women. As long as they're real Chinese women and not some cheap knock-off crap.

    I second this motion:
