Default another halo question...sorry guys

I don't know much about these lights and found this pair on e-bay....Do you guys think that they would be ok to buy??? Would they fit properly and work correctly and look ok?

Thats where most people are getting theres is from ebay. I got mine from there & they worked out just fine. The only problem I ran into was there was a gap on the drivers side but not the pass side. All I had to do to get them to fit correctly was to use my factory brackets on the halos. Worked like a champ.

I used the factory brackets also and have a gap on the passenger side and a small gap on the driver side.

they are actually pretty cheaply made, I would consider myself one of the first bunch to get them and they do not take to any elements very well. The plastic is starting to peel on the actual lens the rubber seal around the housing has been cracking for the past 5 months. (had the lights for a little over a year). They are definitely not looking good, most of u guys will start seeing defects come up within 6 months of purchasing them.

HELL, my factory rubber seal is still in near perfect condition compared to the aftermarket. In my opinion, get a BRAND new set of OEM lights and do the whistler mod, they will look great.

Im sure how well they hold up also depends on the environment they are in. Freezing winters or blazing summers etc. Anyway I love mine and they are doing fine so far. If for whatever reason they go bad Ill have to get another set because I love the look over the stock appearance. I used the whistler mod for a while before getting halos, although it was annoying that barely anybody noticed the difference.
