Headlights of Ebay?

I'm looking at these headlights on ebay and they say they will fit 04-07 F-150 so I'm think they should fit on 08 also?

Has anybody had any experience with these lights or any problems?

they'll fit, but run a bead of clear silicone around the edge of the clear housing to make sure they don't leak. I've had mine in for almost a year with 0 problems.

All 2004 - 2008 headlamps are interchangable.

Well I bought a set of those on E-bay 3 weeks ago and after sending the company I bought it from 3 E-mails they just picked them up today via UPS. A couple days after installing them they had water leaks all throught the lights and YES I did silicone the edge. DO NOT (unless you like water in your head lights) by anything like this just spend the extra money and get the OEM.

Trust me. It's so not worth the hassle.

as far as quality i agree , but you cant even buy one regular oem headlight for $100

i bought a set of clear corner headlights off ebay for about $120 (in sig) , and as long as you put sealant around the edges you will have no problems, atleast i didnt lol

i would get the set you posted in your first post, and seal em up, or painting your is always an option for about $10
