Default Projector/Halo Headlights

I just got a great deal on a set of Projector/Halo headlights with tail lights on eBay from a company called IPex Motoring. Their feedback is great but I am concerned now because I've heard horror stories about eBay lights. Here's a pic if what I'm getting and a pic of my truck. Should I be worried?

Your gonna wanna reseal the headlights and maybe the tailights. Condensation is a thing with them.

With just a bead of silicone around the edge or take the lenses off and seal them that way?

So my headlights came in. Got them sealed and installed. They look pretty good however, I have some concerns. First off, the high beam on the passenger side doesn't come on, and when I turn the high beams on, the low beams cut off. Shouldn't they remain on with the high beams? The wiring looks pretty solid so do you think I could just have a defective bulb? Regardless, I emailed the seller to let them know.

Here's a pic of them installed.

Yah low beams are post to cut off when highs are turned on. As for the high beam bulb not coming on, maybe check the connection to the bulb and make sure that the bulb is good. You could switch it out with the working bulb to make sure

Makes sense. I'll be troubleshooting today so hopefully it isn't anything major.

FIXED! Loose connection.

I also disabled my DRLs.
