No major complaints with mine off Ebay. I did end up with a few dead bugs inside one of them somehow but other than that they work fine and look great.

55w 5000k HID's from DDM in the headlights and LED bulbs for the turn signals and corner marker lights that are clear but light up orange.

I've done the restoration kits before.
They only last so long.
I did mine when I first got the truck.
The headlight i had sitting in the garage for 4 years was clearer after 2 years than the one I took out.
Thats the thing I worry about the most when buying these kits.
Though, I believe there is about an inch of adjustment in the lights.... did you not adjust them in Kris?
I just want to get krystal head lamps for mine, I wanna keep the stock markers.
