actually if you look at the picture of the item, the reflector buckets look very oem-ish.

of course they look similar. but it's like saying the rolex i bought in mexico for $30 is the same quality as a real rolex...

my suggestion was basically to make the best quality headlight from what he is getting.

I've seen worse than those reflectors. I had 2 pairs of eBay headlights and the design of the reflector had lines only going vertically and none horizontally. Light output and cutoff was horrible.

it's only because the factory guy making these doesn't want to be liable. if you buy the correct bulb you will be in good shape

someone on here melted their "blackhousing" piece with aftermarket high beam bulbs... :lawl:

My eBay blackhouse melted in the high bean area. I ended up switching back to oem.

I got a pair of all chrome like that, the output sucked and the worst thing was the adjusting screw broke too. I ended up just returning it for a refund!
