Gen5 Ebay Headlights

I know theres lot of threads about the ebay projects but i just want to know if anyone has bought a pair of regular headlights and any advice on them. Like quality and if the beam is messed up maybe.. My SE headlights i purchased a while back are all hazed and scratched and want some new headlights. Was thinking about getting these..

Honestly, go to a local scrap yard and try your chances. I've heard from tons of people that the EBay stuff is junk. Whatever you do, polish them up nice and buy some headlight film protector. Rvinyl has good stuff for films like protective layers and tints + combinations of them.

i been looking towards the black headlight for camrys on ebay as well, i did the mod myself because for one, my headlights were getting all fogged up and moisture would get in them, so i tried to do the mod and also reseal it up better than factory, but still got the fogginess. i also notice that most of the camrys i see have a yellow, or fogged look to them so im guessing its normal issue which sucks.

I agree, and some even put HID in there to make things worse.
