I didn't bother sealing them myself so i put them on and of course we had a week long rainstorm two days after putting them on. I noticed there was a good amount of water sitting in the driver side housing which actually melted my bulb so i was running on only one headlight.

Took the housing off took all the water out, let it sit in the sun for a day so i was luckily to get all the moisture out of it and re sealed it myself. Haven't had rain since but i think it'll be fine cause i sealed the hell out of it lol. Should be getting my 6k HID's put on this week so it should look pretty bad ass.

Even if a seller says headlights are sealed, I would always go over it again with some sort of sealant just to be sure. When I got my headlights I could see they were sealed but I went over it again with a silicone sealant and they haven't any visible moisture in them yet

I got my eBay set in last night. I will try to upload some pics later. They have a slight tint to them and slightly dimmed my HID's, but nothing bad. More of a slight color change.

M.P. Cobra Fan · December 22nd, 2009, 09:07 AM

Here are the headlights. They look a little darker in person

Sorry about the cell phone pics.

slikirish · December 22nd, 2009, 09:16 AM

Those don't appear to be tinted at all. Nothing like a new sparkly set of lights tho.

M.P. Cobra Fan · December 22nd, 2009, 09:23 AM

I know. The pics have a lot of the chrome shining through. That is the only thing I don't like about the lights is the chrome. In person though the tint looks darker. You can tell they are tinted slightly in person. They almost blend in with the paint in person.

i just got some smoked ones off ebay and a 6000k hid kit. i will post pics when my brother gets back with my car lol. they are pretty dark like the link the OP posted earlier. output was not that bad form the HID kit and dark headlights IMO. definitely better than stock.

here are some with my phone which arent very good. took these right after the install at night. ill get some pics of the lights during the day when my bro gets back so u can see how dark they are.

Scott2001GT · December 22nd, 2009, 12:53 PM
