Default Anyone bought these headlights?

i want to buy new headlights for my GS soon as my passenger side keeps getting water in it, even with a discount on MYLparts an oem set would be $1800, and then I'd also have to get the washer assembly for both if I wanted that little chrome piece that comes out since it seems you can't buy oem ones by themselves.
saw these and it says they're HID and retain AFS

curious if anyone's tried them because that's a bargain if they're good quality.

Don't buy them, they are crap, very low quality and cheap plastic! Friend of mine got them and turned yellow in less than a year!

I ​​​​recently purchased both headlights for my car for around 650 (BOTH) on ebay, they even came with the high beam bulb and ballasts, here are the links, search they may have with the washers.

OEM AND LIKE NEW
I highly recommend the seller, very honest and good quality items.

Here is how they look mounted on the car, car is still at the paint shop

Wow! Looks amazing with brand new lights, I wonder if I could just swap out the headlight chrome trim since those don't have the trim for the headlight washers, I'm guessing you could.

Yes your can swap the chrome. They are held by 9 small Phillip head screws,

Looks brand new! Not a bad price at all if you painted the whole car.

I thought I saw the headlight washer cover on this forum without buying the whole assembly. I think this it https://www.amazon.com/Right-Headlight-Washer-Nozzle-Cover/dp/B01FTLV7G0

Yeah, paint shops in USA are very expensive, here a decent shop will charge you around USD$150 per part, my GS have a total of 16 parts and since I am a friend of one of the guys there got a discount and ended up with an "OK" price.
They have very well equipped facility, very good paint curing oven and high quality paint.

Lukas if the chrome trim on your actual headlights are good and the washer mechanisms are good, just buy the two headlights from the link I sent you and swap the chrome trim and the washer mechanism and you are all set!

Here are the covers alone in case you need them:
