I have the 1aauto headlamps and tail lamps on my 99 Super Duty. Definite improvement over stock. I also used some Sylvania Silverstar bulbs during the upgrade.

I had eagle eye headlamps for less than 2 years they were crap in my opinion. I went with OEM Harley lights much happier.

Couldn't say about the A1A lights

I have 1a's taillights as the OEM were looking a bit faded and old. They work great perfect fitment, fast shipping and seem to be very good quality for the price.

Pretty sure mine came in a Eagle Eyes box.

Been on a couple years now and still work good. I did seal them up with some RTV glass stuff before installation.

I had what looked like small spiderweb lines or cracks in mine.... The guy at Ford I gave them to was happy to install on to his excursion.

After trying various aftermarket crap on previous vehicles, I can assure you that the OEM's don't have leakage issues, reflector and lens compromises, and are really worth the extra money. With Pick n Pull type places, Craigslist, and Fleabay having good used units cheap, I would never gamble on non-OEM again!

I used some of this on the Headlamps a good 24 hours prior to installation. No problems still and I am in the rain state known as Washington. It didn't work as well on the taillights though, must have been the curve.
