RockAuto headlights

Anyone tried the $80(ish) dollar headlight assemblies from Rock Auto?

Looking to NOT drop the $300/ea that the OEM seem to run.

I did about 5 years ago. They are starting to get that faded look again, but have been fine.

I've never ordered headlights from RockAuto, but have ordered tons of other parts. If you don't like them, they're very easy to work with on returns. I imagine they will be perfectly fine and look quite similar to OEM.

I just bought and installed the TYC made, CAPA certified headlight assemblies on my '05 4R. Excellent quality and easy, direct install. For the price I can't recommend them enough.

Can you report back on weather sealing quality after maybe a few weeks?

I did and I'm pretty happy so far!! only issue I have is I cant seem to get them to adjust into the sweet spot yet. I also went with some amber LED bulbs for the winter months.

No issues so far. Swapped them on 3/22. The truck lives outside and is subjected to all of the CT elements. No leaks whatsoever.

Bought 2 pairs from Rock Auto so far. One with bulbs, one without. Had to return one light out of four because it leaked. No problems on the return or the replacement lights so far. They aren’t' forever parts in my opinion. Just like miles and driving styles on brake pads, you will be polishing or replacing in a few years.
