I wouldn't buy those. I bought a set of foglights of off ebay and they didn't look that durable to me. They were as close to OEM as you can get though. IMO, and what I hear a lot about from others, is that any aftermarket headlights or light housing in general is not nearly as strong. It's not made out of that same tough plastic like the OEM lights. If a nice pebble decides to take a hop at your headlight, your going to suffer. I am also skeptical about how tightly sealed they are. I don't want condensation to build up inside.

Ok, i mean i really like the look of the blue tint to those, is there a way to get that in just a bulb or like the hyper whites will those work without a conversion kit?

Wrong. I have this set but in black and they feel WAY more duriable then stock headlights. There sealed better then stock IMO. Light output is far better then stock. if you want the blueish tint in the headlights, just upgrade the bulbs. The bulbs for lows are H1 55w and the highs are H2 55watt. Very easy install. Overall MUCH better then stock.
