Default Headlights

So I want to go with the look of the Harley Davidson F150 in the front. I have found a OEM set on ebay for right around $400. I also found these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290230321589 any thoughts or suggestions. I know you usually get what you pay for, just dont want to spend an extra $300 if I dont have to. I was also thinking about these if all else fails, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=360052533400. Again thoughts suggestions......

I got these from the same seller on ebay. But there're for my 2001. I like em. They're actually more smoked than what's showing too. Clear side markers.

I got the same ones from ebay and they're fine. The only issue I had was that the sockets that came with the replacements kinda sucked. I just took my stock sockets and used them with the new headlights. Everythings cool now.

I too have looked at the aftermarket Harley headlights. They look good, but also worried problems with arise and I don't want to splurge for the OEM's. I've looked at the 3M tint and it looks good, but sounds like it is difficult to install. Let us know what route you go and if you like your decision.

Sounds good! Maybe I'll have to pick up a pair with my stimulus check.
