Default Anyone own the "cheap" harley replacement headlights?

Hello,

Looking to upgrade the look of my black 06 fX4. Been on ebay and other places looking at the Harley headlights for this model. There are OEM sets that go for around $400, then there are "aftermarket" sets that go for around $100. Thats a BIG difference, and I was wondering if anyone had bought the cheaper replacements and what they thought of them. Or if you have them, can you post pictures along with your thoughts? Thanks!

Its strange that you ask that, i just installed a set i bought off of ebay for $100. They really looked quality, and fit perfect.

P.S. here is a link to the seller on ebay (http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/headlightsdepot/)

Thanks for the replies. I will give the replicas a shot. I guess the worst thing that can happen is I'm out 100 bucks...worth the chance to save 300 I guess!

I got mine off ebay they were the cheaper ones. I have had zero problems so far. Also, they are a bit harder to find but I found a set that has the clear corner lenses as well instead of the amber corner lenses...see the pic in my avatar

I got a set off of ebay for $100. Im very satisfied with them. No condensation problems. Only problem I had was the fit. Im pretty ****. Their is a tiny little gap where the back part of the lens meets the fender. we are talkin small and only I notice it. All in all, its worth it.
Anyone want my chrome ones? Puttin them on the Bay soon.
