Found them for cheaper on eBay. Looks like it wasn't an option for you outside the U.S.

Yep I found them when I was looking.

Rock auto has good return and warranty policy.

Shipping would have brought it up to quite a bit more than rock auto and their cheaper shipping options.

The second largest market for then is UAE.

I can't wait to see these installed! I found these a few months back in RA as well and wondered if they were the real deal...

It's got all the provisions and holes for the headlight washers.

I'll hopefully find out this afternoon when I pass by the shop to get them installed after work.

If the shop has the time to put them in today I will let y'all know.

As requested, more pics and a pic of the ballast.

Also a little clearer on the washer assy holes.

These look pretty stock to me, but without my originals to compare this is the best I can do.

the ballasts are definitely different than stock which are an unsealed valeo brand. can you take it out to see if it's a sealed or open case?

the headlight washers are totally useless so i'm not entirely sure why anyone would want to keep them. they just help the lens to corrode and get hazy.

No I wont be removing the ballast. Google the Osram part number Osram 03 4663. Plenty of images out there of these ballasts.

Just got them installed. Pics up later when I get home and it gets dark.

They are a pretty damn good fit and almost ignorantly bright.

I am applying some clear vinyl to them to protect them from the sand as I type this.

I am extremely pleased with the results.

Still waiting on night to fall for some good pics.

They line up good. Washers attach as normal.

Wiring is totally plug and play.

Ok this is a little older but it got linked in another thread.

I was wondering if these look exactly like stock ones or is this a ‘replace in pairs’ suitable replacement? I can’t tell in the pics. Could you pull off just a drivers side cloudy replacement with this?

They are basically just stock V replacement lights. Everything fits, functions and operates as oem.

So yes they could. The headlight washers and all transfer over.
