Headlights

I was browsing on eBay looking for either some lightning or Harley davidson edition headlights to put on my regular 2003 f-150 but I don't know what is good and what is junk that will fade or scratch or yellow or leak. I found these but I know nothing about them. Any help or info or suggestions on better places to look or better lights is very appreciated. Cost doesn't matter to me I just want some really good quality ones.

I have those ones. I love the look. They are reproductions, so the fitment may have a bit of a gap, but its not too bad. I've had mine for about two years and they are just now beginning to peel a bit on the lens, but I think that mostly has to do with the degreaser I use on them when I wash the truck. If you keep it in shade and out of sunlight, they should last a few years. Overall great headlights, you'll love them.

Are yours those exact ones or just look like them? Do they ever get water in them of fog up? Wish I could find some just as good as factory, reliability and quality wise.

I have the exact same ones. I got them from a different seller, but they all come from the same factory in China. They will fog up initially, but that is to be expected. I've opened mine up for a retrofit and they are still perfect.

Did you put any silicone or anything around them? What bulbs did you put in them? I wanna get some new bulbs at the same time but don't wanna get HIDs because I don't wanna deal with blown fuses or wiring or relays or anything I just want a good plug and play bulb.

Nope, no silicone needed. The bulbs that come with them are some cheap pieces of crap, so of course you want to upgrade. Check out your other thread.
