    that's what they cost dude...make sure you seal them though...few have reported that they fog up...but if you seal them before installing...you should be good to go..

    Yeah that's well evened out but billy 5100's are the 3" right? That looks like a half footer. I like it. did you need brake line extenders?

    Definitely seal them up before installing them. My egay ones fogged up and I had to take them out and pour a ton of water out of them after wash and wax. I sealed them and they still fog up some, but if you seal them before you ever install them you should be fine.

    $45 shipping. Gotta watch out for that. People will sell stuff cheap with high shipping prices to even out the price but make you think you're getting a deal.

    $56 + $45 = $101. Not to good at math but I learned myself pretty well i think.

    i bought the exact sety off ebay sealed them up with window sealent - caulk - silicon stuff from kragens, and have had 0 issues with them, for the price they look and work great, i have even pressured washed them and no moisture at all, love the clear corners too, i kept my stock ones to do a retro fit and bhlm to when i get the time but theis ebay ones are working out great so far and fit perfect too, no complaints here

    Many thanks friend! Definitely sounds like the single silicon seal is the way to go.

    Well the thing is my used truck headlights came with a slit like crack on the Drive side. That crack grew about 3 inches long, I plan on keeping them to experiment with but with the light sun damage and crack I just thought forget trying to mod the OG's.
