    so wait, you traded some POS egay projector lights for some POS egay BHLM lights? OEM BHLM all the way. hopefully those wont leak as well cause the glue sucks...i've taken a set apart for a guy and found this out.

    Wow dude...thanks for the shitty comment...wtf? First off, the new ones are not pieces of shit...There set up just like OEM and the seal is solid all the way around...I'm sure they'll be fine. Regardless their 100% better than those wanna be projectors and the quality is much much better :cool:

    how is that a crappy comment? you were pissed at your old lights for leaking, yet you purchased lights that have been known to leak?

    im not saying that they arent sealed all the way around, they just use crappy sealant. the OEM stuff is very tacky and stick to the plastic lenses, yet the egay ones glue does not. i say this from personal experience as i fixed a set for a guy that were leaking.

    so lets all be friends here, it was a simple question, dont need to get all crazy. i do agree that they style and output is MUCH better!

    You just came off rude thats all...the sealant that is on there is identical to the stuff that was on the OEM headlights I had. I tried to do the BHLM but the fuckin plastic warped and they wouldn't go back together correctly :( I was off roading about a year ago and my battery strap broke thus shooting my battery forward and shattering my driver side stock headlight so I bought those gay projectors (i know, i know). AZD54 gave me his stock driver side headlight cause he got these same ones that are on my truck now and he had no use for it. I got together with a buddy and attempted the BHLM and FAIL!!!! :mad:

    They did look dam near identical to the OEM lights, with the same sealant. Only way to be sure would be to take them apart. Being as Andy has been running them with no issues, Im thinking they are a good deal. I have seen the cheapo ones, and they do look kinda cheap. Im no light expert though. :eek:
