Go to theretrofitsource.com to get the parts, or have lightwerkz.net to do the job, if u just eant the black look, take apart your own kights and paint it. Take only hours to complete, but the results are better. Lots of aftermarket lights have a bad seal that lets water in.

Just finished with the install. I had no issues with fitment, except for the one tab on the light that bolts to the top of the fender. The hole to screw the tab in was only half lined up, but no was not a big deal at all. I just started the screw in just screwed it in until it made its way in (the tab on the light is made of pretty soft plastic, so it made its way in easy). I gave a quick once-over of the headlights before the install and I didn't notice any flaws/defects in the quality of the lights. In my personal opinion right now, I would buy these. Then again, I haven't driven with them yet, so my opinion can change. In person, the lights looks great. sorry for the big pics...btw, these lights were $96 shipped.

Forgot to mention that the screw that goes into the lower (hard to reach infamous bolt-to-frame) tab was too small. I neede to dig into my box of screws I have and found one for each that fit. So before you install the lights, make sure the screws thread in before you get nearly done and realize your screw doesn't fit. This might not be for everyone's set though.

I had the same issue with the right one. The top tab was only 1/3 lined up on mine. Had to break out MR dremel
The quality is great and I would def buy again as well. I took some pics but it was dark. Ill take some tomorrow during the day. These pics do not do the lights justice.

Looks good! Can you guys keep us posted on leakage, condensation, etc.?
I'll probably pick up a pair to retrofit, then sell my stockers.

That's a good idea (I think). So you'd send the ebay lights to whomsoever is retrofitting your HID's (lightwerkz for example) and then install them and sell your OEM headlights?
This eliminates the downtime and the multiple installs of the headlights by installing the ebay ones to drive around while your OEM ones are being retrofitted etc.
