I bought mine off E-bay for $90, haven't had a problem with them. Dealer wanted $405 a peace.

some members here have experienced condensation buildup on the inside of the lens, that is why I have held off on the Hellas! My stockers have 0 condensation buildup in 2 years of ownership!...

Do they use the stock bulbs?

Also any of those halo projector lights on ebay any good?
was thinking with some SS ultras those projector lights might work pretty good.

Well you could always buy a set direct from Ford (dealer) I doubt you would have a problem. I have the hella's in right now with piaa bulbs.

yep but they come in a set. Not that you can order just the left or just the right off that site. At least mine came in a set and I only paid $219.

I think some guys have resealed the Hellas prior to install to prevent problems with condensation. I had some Depo brand black headlights that leaked and had the lenses craze up on me after just a year of ownership. After that crap I bought genuine stock Ford Harley Davidson F150 headlights. Weren't that much more than the Hellas, and I have never had one single issue with them.

IMO OE parts such as this are the only way to go.

I had bought a set of hellas off a ebay store and 2 days after install and a rainy day I noticed they had quite a bit of condensation, I through them away and told myself that if I buy another set of hellas or another type that before I install them that i'm gonna run a full thin layer of clear silicone around where the lens meet the housing.
