Ebay Headlights

Hey,

Looking to get new headlights and tails and found essentially the same stuff on ebay for $30-70 less than what is listed on other websites. Is there any real difference or are they the same product? Is it worth it to pay the extra money to buy from an actual retailer? From the looks of them they are exactly the same.

Any experiences, comments or opinions would be great.

Matt

probably dont want to buy the cheap sets. I myself havent bought any aftermarkets, but I have been told the seal is bad, or goes bad then you have condesation in your headlights. thats no fun, retro fits are a good idea, expensive tho. good luck

Same here. Got tired off my leaking stockers that I made so said hell with it and bought a set off a vendor on ebay for 100 bucks shipped to my door. I went cheap so I wasnt out a ton if they were crap, but I was impressed.

No leaks and made to GM specs from what I can tell. Fit was great, crystal clear lenses, have not had any problems in 4 months.

There's plenty of aftermarket company's that do OEM spec headlights. I know some company's have different warranty's. I know on Ebay there is a company that offers a 3 year warranty which you can't beat.
