Aftermarket headlight lens question?

Im getting aftermarket lenses off ebay (i know its not the smartest idea but i cant find ones that are crystal and black except for on ebay) and i know ppl say that the ebay ones dont fit right all the time so i was wondering if there was anyway i could make them fit or if there are good ones online that i just cant find.

These are the type i want

Look up the DEPO brand headlights. They seem to have good reviews and go for about $70 for the headlights. They have them in crystal and in black I believe as well.

Then the set you linked to should work just fine. All I would do it run a small bead of silicone around the seal lens seal before installing them to make sure they are sealed. After that, they should be just fine. As for fitment, many users have purchased ebay lights with good success so I don't think there will be much issue.

My lights came from eBay. They were hard to aim and have a bad light pattern but they fit fine. I'm going to add some more lights to help with the visibility part.

X2 on the Depo lights, I have them in my truck and I haven't had any issues.

The only place I could find them was on Ebay 92 96 F150 F250 BRONCO DEPO SMOKE CLEAR HEADLIGHTS SET | eBay
