question (headlights)

Stang187 · January 24th, 2008, 06:43 PM

have any of you guys bought headlights off of ebay? Reliable if so?

itschristorres8 · January 24th, 2008, 06:45 PM

yes
depending WHO you buy it from

Stang187 · January 24th, 2008, 06:52 PM

if you wuldnt mind pointing me in the right direction of whom to buy from. Im thinking the chrome,all clear headlights as to the ones on american muscle since they seem like they wuld produce more light/farther light beam them wuld smoked. Wut u think though in your opinion wuld look best on my car.

GreenFaleen · January 24th, 2008, 06:53 PM

yes I did and they leaked like 90% of aftermarket headlights, when you get them go back around the seal with silicone glue it will make everything better

Stang187 · January 24th, 2008, 06:54 PM

by the way thats an older pic of the car about a year ago which the headlights were in good cond. now they are foged up permanently.

itschristorres8 · January 24th, 2008, 06:56 PM

03stangcs · January 24th, 2008, 07:12 PM

My friend did and was overall it was reliable

Onemanzu · January 24th, 2008, 07:14 PM

i have ebay headlights... got them for $110 to my front door... look great... install was a little long of a process but the lights on the rounds are a bitch... and aiming them was fun too

mustangjeff1997 · January 24th, 2008, 10:35 PM

i have WAY too much experience with new headlights...i would do some serious research about the place you're getting them from before buying...i've had to replace mine three times...i just ended up getting some from a local body shop that has a really good brand with a lifetime warranty...try that first, it's your best bet...oh, and the silicon thing is a good thing to do

whitemustang02 · January 24th, 2008, 10:56 PM

id nosent mater what lights u get all new edges will leak, i had my stock ones leaking bad, went out and got a high wuilaty factory replacment set and now they r starting to leack again, lasted about 2 years.

i bought mine of ebay .. great quality headlights they look beautiful on my car

just make sure to do as everyone already told you and put some silicone around them so they wont leak

Stang187 · January 25th, 2008, 12:14 AM

Where exactly do you put the silicon?

97TunedMustang · January 25th, 2008, 01:43 AM

I bought mine from ebay and i did not seal them with silicone of any sort and they dont leak at all. no condensation to speak of.

GtrTech · January 25th, 2008, 05:14 AM

I ordered from this seller didn't have any problems.

an auto parts store should have some silicone

greygunner · January 27th, 2008, 08:12 AM

Stang 187, just place a generous amount of silicon where the lense meets the rest of the headlight enclosure. I got mine off ebay and sealed them with silicon and the would still leak. Finally I covered the silicone sealead areas with a lot of electrical tape and that finally stopped the leaking. If you do get water inside the headlight, just take it completely out and set a hair dryer on it for about an hour. Also, while your at it, you might as well pick up some silverstar ultras, they are only about 40 bucks.
