Default Opinions on these E-Bay Headlights

I am considering buying these headlights off of e-bay and I wanted to know if anyone sees a problem with these before I decide to buy them. I emailed the seller about whether or not they include the bulbs, installation instructions and if there is anything else I need to buy to install these. Also, do the headlights need to be aimed after they have been installed?

You get what you pay for... The halo rings will probably burn out very quickly, lights are probably cheaply made, etc.

They are actually less expensive than the ones in the first post, but I did a search for headlights on this forum and found out that you had considered getting them at one point in this thread.

SAd fact, most of those e-bay headlamps fade quickly the plastic hazes over.... due to the fact they are chinese made crap, even the "direct factory" replacement units for my cb7 arent even glass they are plastic.

Remember you get what you pay for, every set i have ever gotten for any car i have owned via ebay either fell apart quickly or didnt fit correctly at all. So just take that into consideration when trying to save a few bucks.

how much did you pay for your headlights 02BlueAccord? you dont know what seller you bought them from or what brand they are do you? maybe i can get some like yours if yours still work ok and you didn't have to pay too much for them.

I actually just helped my friend put a set of headlights on his Scion TC that he got from that same seller off of ebay. They fit perfectly and looked good. I think he payed around $150 for his but hey, if you like them bro, just go for it.... You'll always have your stock ones as backup.

Thats what I did...cause you can always change back to stock.

hey i bought projectors off of ebay and wound up putting the stocks back on and i painted the inside black to make them look like 5th gen jdm's cuz the halos burned out and other drivers on the road couldnt tell if I was turning unless they were coming from the side cuz you couldnt see the signal from the front. but w/ these i dont think you would have that problem since these are made differently. if ur feeling em do it

just to let everyone know, I ordered the headlights in the first post a few minutes ago. I looked at the seller's feedback and everyone was happy with what they got so I thought I would be too. My headlights were starting to haze over so I figure if I'm going to replace them, I might as well get something other than stock.
