Cheap Ebay CRYSTAL headlights...........

Those cheap ebay headlights, How is the build quality? I had some problems with my factories durring my projector project. So I don't care about their crappy beam quality. Are they a thick as the oem? What about the lenses and the plastic? Roughly the same??

i had moisture problems at first. i then put silicone around the edge and blew i out with a heat gun to dry it out, and I haven't had a problem since.

I don't have any experience with the ones you posted on ebay. But I did do the DIY black headlight mod to my stock headlights. When putting them back together I just made sure to use plenty of black waterproof silicone and I haven't had a bit of moisture in the lights since.

I got some ebay ones. They work just fine for me. Mine had a tacky black gasket on mine and I have no moisture problems.
