For anyone interested, these are back in stock.

I ordered a couple pairs of them yesterday and today I see they've raised the price $50. So, I assume they are selling rather well.

I'm going to use one pair to replace my OEM lenses, then the other pair I'm going to retrofit some aftermarket bi-xenon projectors to see how it turns out.

Yeah the idea is that you pull the plastic outer lens off the ebay lights and swap it onto the OEM headlights. The aftermarket projectors themselves are junk.

I ordered a couple sets of the ebay lights. One set to replace my OEM lenses which have stress cracks inside. The other set, I'm going to try retrofitting a set of Morimoto 4TL-R projectors and see how they turn out. Will be nice if I can get them to look OEM but with bi-xenon functionality!

Never mind, I think I'd misread this sentence before. These photos are of the God-awful aftermarket projectors and headlights, and are not of the OEM units with aftermarket lenses installed.

I was kind of baffled at how badly an aftermarket lens would mangle the OEM projector's output, but I'm glad to know I was mistaken, and that this is an option in the future. My headlights have some stress cracks on the inner side of the lenses, as I'm sure a lot of other owners have.

Has anyone successfully swapped out their OEM lens with the eBay lens yet? I'm curious to see some pictures and get some feedback. I have a fair amount of stress cracks on my headlights but don't want to shell out $900 for new headlights.
