Ebay headlights

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-1996-Ford-F150-F250-F350-Bronco-Black-Signal-Bumper-Headlights-Corner-Lamps-/181419021868?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1995%7CModel%3AF-150&hash=item2a3d6a962c&vxp=mtr
Has anyone bought a set of these? I was thinking of freshening up my truck a little and like the look of the darker lights. I know most aftermarket lights need to be sealed a little better, but any other info?

I'm very curious if anyone has any experience with these! I actually put a set of these exact lights in my eBay cart on Sunday and haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm a little leery too. The seller has great reviews though!

When I get my truck repainted I'm planning to go with a dark grey. I thought these would look really nice with the grey body!

If you end up buying some, please update us on how they look in and out of the vehicle and if the quality is any good.

I'm definitely sold on replacing my headlights with clear lenses! But I'm curious about the ones in the OP's original post specifically... If they're any good I think they'd look great on my truck once I get it repainted and replace the headlight surrounds and grille with chrome.

I see a lot of people on facebook in the OBS forums that are switching to these and everybody loves them. Clear housings with either LED or HID's seem to be real popular. Im thinking of doing the LED route just don't want to spend all the time it takes to swap the housings out

I got the DEPO lights based on reviews here and elsewhere. I'm not happy with them. Mine are throwing a blotchy pattern with bright and dark spots.

I agree, and it seems I will have to add some shims to the bottom somehow in order to adjust them out enough to see. They look 100% better but function 25% less than the old ones I had.

I had the DEPO lights and they were horrible. Looked good but we're much worse than the yellow ones I replaced. Would never buy DEPO again

The smoked tent-clear coat on the lens eventually flake off...Don't recommend using the power washer at the car wash to take the bugs off on them......

Plastic is thinner then OEM...

most of the ebay lights are made in china, and are not US DOT legal.

I have bought them for my 94 F150 and 98 Mustang. Work and look great.
