    My old headlights had broken tabs, were jiggling around and faded/yellow.

    I didn't want anything facny. I just wanted new plain factory headlights, but i didn't want to pay the Toyota price.

    I found these for $178
    They were packaged well, came with bulbs and actually have sealant in the seam.

    I forgot to take a side by side pic with the new and old headlights but they are an exact clone of the original ones.

    I will post up later if they give me any problems

    Good question, i should have installed one new with the other old, at night, to take pictures...

    The beam seems nearly identical to the original, but new and clear. These are definitely the best knock-off of anything I've ever seen.

    These particular ones have no Amazon reviews or stars.
    Maybe i was the first to purchase?

    MOST people are replacing factory headlights with fancy stupid looking LEDs with halos and all other kinds of nonsense. And blinding the fuck out of the other drivers...

    I see people on here all the time, complaining that their $600 headlights have water in them.

    These are still clear. No leaks or problems.
