Hmmm.... not bad, not bad at all ! But $200.... dang it, why do I have to be such a friggin' cheapskate... this truck (and this site) are becoming an extremely expensive habit to keep up with ! :biggrin:

Tell me about it, when these days, my fiance is going to get fed up with it and not let me buy parts anymore, so far she has been great, i just dont want to pass that line, i just need to calm down and not look at anything

I put mine in today. Have not rain tested them yet. I hope mine dont fog, but if they do I'll be glad I bought insurance.

You guys need to put clear silicone all the way around the seal right when you receive these lights. That should hopefully fix the problem. I baked mine and put a solid bead of silicone all the way around and have never had a problem.

I was goin to but i was afraid if they still yet leaked I couldnt send them back. But I'm going to try an get another drivers side an see how it does. If it leaks I'll put silicone around the seal. I wonder how these lights will hold up in the oven?

Buy the ones from SaberSport. I drove in down pouring rain and not one leak. The humidiy in HI is always in the 60-70s. So I vouch for them. Great for retrofits too. Just gotta wait for them to show up, it's like he only brings in 10 @ a time to sell. was 224 shipped to HI.

Pretty good. I took them apart for the retro, but the sealant they use is harder than the Toyota stuff, so get 2 screwdrivers ready to go. Needs 2 people. TRUST ME. I filled the entire channel with silicone, apparently they don't like going back together after seperation.

Werty how are yours holding up??? Haven't heard many good things about these lights...anyone get them replaced??? I really want these but I want nothing to do with the hassle of buying something that I'm just gonna have to send back.

I can deal with the beam pattern for the looks. Its not good but it aint really bad either. If they replace one of mine without a hassle an try to do the right thing I could recommend them to someone looking for an option other than baking the oem's.

Perfect so far....no rain yet, but had a few frosty mornings with zero fog up

10% chance of rain tomorrow...well see


btw, I think the new bulbs that came with it are brighter than stock....I can see better at night now:dontknow: :rock:

and I havent had any weird beams of light in weird directions either...I dont see how that could happen seeing as they are a exact replica of the stockers...and the blacked out areas have absolutely nothing to do with how the light projects onto a background.

the quality of the lights is perfect...its no different than stock....some of you will see them at the tucson meet and youll see what im saying

Well, I hate to quote my own post, but the lights in the pictures are for sale. After one of them fogged up I uninstalled them. To tell you the truth I wasn't completely sold on the BHLM on my truck and liked the factory look better. So my loss is your gain.

I paid $230 for these shipped. I'll sell them for $150 shipped obo.

run some silicone around the seal for good measure and you've saved yourself some cash.

Did you run silicone around them before you put them on or just bolt them in? these ones are way better with the smoked lenses
