They have 18,000+ positive feedback and 44 negative. That's a 0.24% chance you will be unhappy with the results. You're probably safe.

they arent oem thought but they look decent my only concern is they say wiring is not included thats wierd it needs wiers they are built in the headlight so how would you power up lights?

i have those headlights, they are no different than factory. but they do not come pre-adjusted.

I think the wiring they're talking about is from the headlight to the BCM (ie. what stays on the car when you take the headlight out.

I got my driver's side off ebay... for 60ish.

Its brand new. Pretty crazy how good of a condition its in. Came plastic wrapped and with bulbs in it. (cheap bulbs) but bulbs none the less.

111 bucks each seems a bit expensive.

I didn't notice that pair the first time...odd!

I had like 12 tabs open. by time I got to this one, I answered saying it was a pair...then reloaded and found out I was a few posts behind. :glare:
