Anyone having issues with fogging, leakage etc. I would like to get a pair of black projectors but have been hearing horror stories about the Ebay ones with regard to the aforementioned issues...can someone recommend a pair to me that they have been using for an extended period of time without issue?? Also these plug and play are just halo bulbs installed in the projector housing and not the whole HID retrofit I have read about??? How is the light output on the plug and play and what bulbs would you recommend which would be superior to stock lights?

Mine have gotten slight fog in them but it clears out in a few minutes.
Mine were not plug and play there was lot of wiring. The light output was poor on the low-beams, but its because there was an H1 bulb in projector housing.

Mine had major leakage and fogging in the passenger side headlight, I purchased some silicone sealant from autozone for about 5 bucks re-sealed and whala no more fog!

Here ya go check this link to Ebay out. The seller is Sabor Sport I bought my Halo and rear Led tails from them and they were a true plug and play and I love the way it makes my truck look at night. Here is the link http://stores.ebay.com/SABERSPORT/F-...=p4634.c0.m322

I'm considering these. Can you share what the light output is?

I ask because I'd like to get more light than stock to better spot critters that are about to jump out onto the road but I also want to be able to aim the lights outward (up and down) and to the right so that I don't blind on-coming traffic on rural two-lane roads.

These lights are also available in Chrome which to my eye looks better on the non-FX models.

If I am reading the description right that is just for the passenger side light.

Yes mine were the plug and play sonar black ones with running LED strip. I have since then removed the plug and play and fit HIDs in the housings. I ordered mine from JMAutoRacing.com cheapest I could find 6 months ago.
