aftermarket lights?

Ive been thinking of getting the clear corner lights off Ebay for my 1999 F350. Does anybody have them or has anyone bought them off Ebay & if so how are they. I dont want to get some chinese POS that isnt sealed very well. Thanks.

Mine clear turn signals, and my 02-04 headlights are both cheap knock offs off of ebay. I have no problems with either ones.

New Pair Set Headlight Headlamp Housing w Clear Lens SAE Dot Stamped Aftermarket | eBay

eBay My World - autozensation

The bottom one is the company I got the turn signals from. The clear I bought are showing up sold, but he may have more.

PIN, thanks for the links & info, Ill check them out. I had a bad experience with cheap lights that leaked, fogged up, and eventually looked like a fish bowl (no joke either).

Mine havent leaked yet. But anytime if I buy things like that on ebay, before I put them on I run a thin bead of silocone around where there stripping supposed to be to be safe. And me personally, I think mine look good.

And the link to the headlight company, I gave them major props on ebay. Most companies there say there complete, but there lights are all the way down to the adjusters and they give you bulbs. I got the Ford ones, then after they got here and I was impressed, I ordered some for my 03 Ram 2500. Both sets were great and complete.

I guess my other post didnt work. So I ordered my clear headlights & corner lights from Rock Auto. For my 1999 they didn't have clear marker lights so I just ordered the ones for a 2002 or 2003......should fit fine right...? Well once I installed them I noticed that the upper point of the signal lights stick out quite a bit where it should mate up to the fender. It's like as if they are both tilted forward & there is no adjustments for these, just the two bottom screws hold them in.
Anyone have the same issue?
Thanks.

No it's not that. Peg is aligned & barely engaged because it's tilted forward so much once bolted down. I know the original factory lights stuck out slightly but not nearly that much.

Yes I got the peg aligned before tightening it & once it's all bolted up I can push the light assembly back & fully engage the peg in the hole but it just springs forward leaving that big gap. I didn't know if there was a reason why those weren't an option to purchase from rock auto for a 99 but I've seen all these headlights for newer models & also those same types on other peoples 99s so I just figured it wouldn't be an issue.
