I need both headlamps. Ive found some sets on ebay but I wanted to know if anyone has any experince with these. The last thing I want is to end up with a crappy set of headlamps after a couple of months then have to replace them again.
 
I found a set on ebay about a year ago, black housing projector headlights, with matching black corner lights. They ran about 60 bucks.

They are absolute garbage. The mount parts are not quite big enough to keep the housings solidly mounted. The bulb retainers aren't threaded on with real threads, so the bulbs jiggle around inside the housing so the light wiggles. Since the bulbs aren't in securely, the beam patterns are terrible and practically impossible to aim in a useful way. They look decent on the truck, but are completely worthless in function.

The corner lights are alright, but a little odd design. Instead of amber lens, its clear with a black housing and an amber reflector inside. They fit and work properly. They look okay on the truck. But the plastic lens has no sort of coating for UV resistance. Mine are yellowed pretty bad and it has been right around 1 year of use, in mild Montana sunlight.

I don't have a way to check if the ones you are looking at are the same or not. I have a different ebay account and no way to get into my old one now.

I replaced them about a month ago with OEM style ones from Rockauto for $20 a piece, made by TYC. The quality is practically the same as factory original, the beam pattern is great, they look oem, they fit snug, and come with bulbs already in them. I'm extremely happy with them and would recommend them. Heck, after shipping the tyc ones were still more inexpensive than the ebay crap.
 
PopVIIs roadster looks like it's straight out of Karuizawa. Super freaking awesome!
