I got them recently on my ss/tc. No problems after 2 months. No cracks at all and lenses are clear as a bell. There is a small gap under one light, but the bumper was a little off to begin with. You can easily adjust the aim.
Again..no problems. Got them from Modern Performance for around $190.00 as I recall. Well worth the price.

My bumper was NOT installed correctly and my factory headlights don't fit right. One side has had a larger gap in between the headlight and the bumper since day 1 of ownership. I had to spend a damn hour getting my factory lights aimed right...

What type of bulbs do these lights come with and what type of bulbs?

Mine fit better than stock though one of mine is lightly stressed cracked from the standard halogen bulb. But they havent gotten any worse and my passenger side one still looks practically new after 6+ months. And depo will replace the stress cracked one under warranty.

I have a gap on my driver's side headlamp and I'm still stock...the fitment of the factory headlights is sub-par to say the least.

I think I might get these tho...
