Question on eBay Headlights? Look Here!
3 people have asked me about the eBay headlights within the last 4 days. So if you had questions, hopefully I can answer them in this thread.

-The ring that covers the Halo's fell off
-My Halo's went dead after 1 Year, and the blue bulbs they shipped with broke or were broken within 1 month. Replaced with LED's:

Yes definitely swap the lenses onto the OEM lights! Remember to trim the edges for it to be flush though if you do this. Get rid of that crap! They don't aim right, they stop lighting, and then they just fall apart. Nice.
My advice, do this and then get some Ebay highbeams and do the same for a fully clear headlight setup.

(Wish I had time to clear out the OEM lights...or that I picked up some of the high quality Japan clear covers before they all became discontinued.

High PSI
Any more info on exactly what needs to be trimmed to make these flush - like a picture of exactly what needs to be done? I looked and haven't found anything.

To seal you have to use a non condensating RTV ultra Black I think it is? Anyway bead it around the housing then secure the lenses. I used 3 Industrial (Zipties) on each headlight (handcuff type ones). Then just over look them real good on any tuch up sealing and let them sit over night, or too be sure 24hrs

Ya its actually pretty simple, I didn't take any pics when I did it tho.. but when you have both lenses removed you'll see a little bit of black plastic you have to trim around the corner to make it fit flusher(very easy) and you'll know what I'm saying when you do it.
