Has anyone bought these headlamps from Ebay?

If so, impressions? and how's the light pattern compared to stock?

How's fit and finish?

Thinking of getting them for my bro.

like stolen? if so, no. these are brand new, off brand makes. I'll never buy "missing tab" ones.

I had Depo Clear Corners for my 100cs and i had a fly that got stuck inside the light

somehow... If i fly can get in then moisture should be able as well. However i never had any condensation inside them.
