Like mine.
Huh, so you think they will for the 04-08? I have eBay heads and they definitely don't fit exactly the like the stock ones, which makes me seriously wonder if their lenses would fit properly. I hope they do though!

I have swapped them in the past. The stock lenses are better but after a year or so in the sun they (I cannot remember the actual term), they are not cracked but develop tiny lines within the acrylic, I am sure the aftermarket ones will as well, however they are so cheap I can afford to swap them out as needed. The aftermarket lenses are ever so slightly different but the tabs and what not are in all the same locations as the OEM.
Good luck

Good to know they fit. Yeah, the eBay ones are 1/5 to 1/6 of the price, so I'll run through plenty of them before I get to the price of stock.

I bought those before, and then returned them and bought the OEM Harley's(posted above).

The reason I didn't like them is because they are painted a matte black and don't match the black trucks well. The OEM lights are gloss black painted with automotive grade paints, and look 1000 times better. It looked crappy enough for me to pay 4 times the cost for the OEM's!! hehe

They won't be bad, might fit a smidge different, and have known to pit and yellow quicker than OEM. I just retrofitted a set that had peeling on the lens.
If your OEM lens are good open them up and paint the inside yourself PTM.

FYI thank you for searching, but we try not to revive old threads.

235°f for 15 minutes in the oven one at a time. Take you tone with 2 screw drivers, try not to pry. May take a couple times in the oven. I have used this method many of times and find it works best with the permaseal headlights. FYI Permaseal is a PITA.

Haha no yours were genuine Harley lights. The aftermarket replica ones are the ones that peel quickly.
