Default Halo headlight question.

I tried doing a search earlier but didn't find what i was looking for. I am looking at the halo lights on ebay. They don't really specify any installation instructions and i was just wondering if you need to use the OEM headlight brackets. I have read many posts on here about fitment issues related to the lights and guys just using the stock brackets. The problem for me is... the previous owner managed to break the drivers side headlight bracket and it has a crack at the top by the screw. Please inform me if i will have to find another bracket or if the lights on ebay come with brackets. Also any feedback on the halo lights from ebay would be nice.

They come with new brackets. Some people find it easier to just swap the OEM bracket on to the halo for a better fit.

My understanding is the come with brackets, but to use your factory brackets for the best fit.

They come with their own brackets.

However, I recommend swapping in your stock bracket as well.

I used the supplied bracket on the passenger side but had to swap the factory bracket on the driver side to make it fit properly.
