I've had mine for about 8 months now, got HIDs from the start. No stress cracks or other issues so far. Fitment, as others have said, is shitty. Take your time, be patient, and.... painters tape is your friend if you don't want your bumper scratched up!

In all honesty, I liked the chrome ones better. They seriously looked like they were OEM.
I hit a dear and luckily my headlight was the only thing damaged. I have the black ones now. Not sure if I should go chrome or do black again.

i have these headlights. i think they are the nicest headlights, and from what i hve read the lens cracking problem has been fixed. i got mine like 3 or 4 months ago. still nooo problems. but i got these for the sole purpose to put hid's in them. which i did after about 3 weeks of having them. i still have no cracks. no fading. no nothing. just really nice headlights with nice ass hid's in em. haha. anyways. i defnitely recomend these. they are reallyyy easy to install and they are pretty good headlights. you definitely need hids tho. the bulbs that come with these were a huge dissapointment compared to the stock headlights. but ya. and be careful that you know these headlights have h7 bulbs in them instead of the stock 9007 bulbs. but good luck. hope i helped.

I was curious if the stock 9007 bulbs would be better to have instead of the h7? sorry im new to all of this car stuff and have been wanting to change my headlights for a while now because my stockers are garbage. passenger side fits horribly and has a gap between the bumper.

a stock 9007 bulb will not physically fit in the headlight. 9007 is the code number for the shape of the base of the headlight, it's impossible for it to fit. Even if you did modify the base of the bulb to fit, the alignment of the bulb in the projector would be off, bulb alignment needs to be precise down to the MM. Nothing wrong with h7s
