Buy at your own risk!!!!
If you want your headlights to fog up and get water in them then go for it. I have not found an aftermarket headlight/taillight set yet that doesnt fill up with water and fog up. And I know for a FACT that those second ones will, Clay had them and it looked like a waterfall inside and they were turning black on the plastic chrome from water mold. You have been warned :) I took my aftermarkets off cause of this issue.
Clear your corners and tint the stocks or something. Don't waste your money!

yea you can reseal them....not an easy task and pretty messy. Oh, and those halo's are known for going out too. You get what you pay for!! I have learned my lesson the hard way on ebay cheapies.

Brandon's just a paranoid little bitch. :rofl2:
I have the projectors with the eyebrow. They have a port in the back with a U shapped rubber hose that clears out the fogging within a few seconds. The shape prevents water from getting in. Sure they fog up a bit, but it goes away so fast that it's hardly noticable. The bulbs in the eyebrow and angel eye are replacable too. They have a wiring harness that hooks up to the stock plug, so all you have to do is wire up the angel eye and eyebrow.

I have same projectors as the first one you listed and have lots of water inside them and it really sucks! i hate it, I love the way the lights "SHOULD" look but they look pretty lame with moisture inside. Im gunna try to pull them out and seal them. Boy i hope that works.
I just pulled them out and am going to try to reseal them. Any one know what kind of sealent to use?

i've got a set like the first ones. i've resealed the drivers side ones and every once in a while it'll fog up but it usually goes away in a day or two. the light output on them is great. i've heard people say that lights on the eyebrows are prone to going out and it is apparently very difficult to fix. good luck :up:

I've got the same ones, and they have never been that bad...I think you should use windshield sealant, clear of course.

I heard that the ones with the eye brows are not adjustable, very important for certain state inspections. The others should be adjustable.
Also heard that the light output isn't very good, most go with HID's when installing the projectors like RTB did.....

If you decide to get the ones pictured above, take my advice and reseal them before you start fogging. Because mine has pits in them from the heat from the bulbs and the condensation.

I threw down $200 for a set of Anzo's and haven't really had any problems. I had a tiny bit of fogging right after I installed them but I think it was from popping the parking lights into them. 5 minutes with the high beams and the fog has never come back.

Well I ended up buying the Sonars off eBay for $69.00. Since I read up them b4 purchase, I resealed mine before I installed them......
Over 2 years in all the elements and not once have I had an issue. No fog or moisture, Halos still working !! Got TYC in rear without issue either....
I have Toshiba HIR bulbs in lows & fogs, Oshram Night Breaker in Highs. Light output is Great ! :DanseurBleu:

Sure don't but here's some info & pics: Toshiba HIR

The Toshiba 9011 and 9012 Halogen Infrared Reflecting (HIR) bulbs have micron-thin layers of electro-deposited coating on a special spherical bulb envelope (Chamber). The coating reflects the filament's infrared (heat) back onto the filament, which results in a hotter filament that produces more light without increased power consumption, shorter bulb life, or extra heat production
