    Did you purchase them from a local retailer or online? If online, can you provide me the link?

    I got them from jcwhitney. Cheapest place I could find them. They were around $210 for the pair in the sport version.

    I Installed the CAPA certified TYC lights in mine. One was damaged when my ex mother in law backed into my truck last summer when I foolishly let my ex wife borrow it. Both the TYC's were cheaper than one OE light. They look and fit great but the passenger side headlight has a really annoying hot spot in the beam pattern. Overall light output is just as good as factory but it does have that hot spot.

    I know you posted this a while back. I was wondering how well they have held up since your post.

    I only owned my 1st Gen for a couple of years after replacing the headlights, and they still looked new when I migrated to my 2nd Gen.

    FWIW, I'd recommend them and buy them again.
