No. Look at this part of the ad. "OEM STYLE" means they are not factory. Also, Ford Harley Davidson heads have black center headlight reflectors.

Below is an image of a real Ford HD f150 headlight assembly.

You'll usually get what you pay for. Take a look at this thread, they're not F150 lamps but what you see there could possibly, or most likely, happen to yours. Add in a high chance of fogging and leaking and you'll understand why the difference in price.

With all that said, if you're not afraid of sanding and sealing go ahead and save a few bucks.

I got my HD lights for $200 plus shipping so it was about $230 and I was able to turn around and sell my FX2 lights for $100 the next day. Just keep an eye out and you can find some pretty good deals on them. They pop up in the classifieds at least once or twice every couple of months.

Although I would ask for better pictures of the lights. It's hard to tell in the picture if the "cones" in the middle of the light are black or chrome. If they are black then they are real HD lights.
