Hey all, sorry for the non tech sorta stupid question but I was wondering how many of you have tried some of the Ebay replacement headlights for the WJ? I was looking for pictures to see what all the different ones look like. Anyone have a preference? I'm sure certain ones are better quality than others, my only experience with ebay headlights were of less than desired quality.
I got some off eBay recently and have absolutely no complaints. Definitely easier than buffing the old ones (which I've done on other cars so I know what it takes).
I bought a set of the OEM replacements for my 04. They were $84 so I didn't think I could go wrong, but 6 months later the clear is peeling off of them. I guess you get what you pay for.
Ones I got are by Eagle Eye. Had the choice of amber or clear signal lights. Went with the clear as I think it looks better. Worked great for my retrofit.
Eagle eyes, clear, for Limited and Overlands, with amber turn signals/parking lights, which I changed to LED's.
Bought from autoandart.

I did projectors several years ago with HID's and they are amazing, I cant find the projectors I have anyplace anymore, and its hard to find housings with projectors that are HID compatible, best to build your own.
FWIW, there are a ton of projector housings out there that are designed for H4 bulbs and whatnot, and they also work very well with a clear clean light output with a sharp cutoff.
I hate it when people bag on 'ebay' brands... of any product. Ebay is not a brand. You can buy Rolex or cheap chinese knockoffs. Neither is an Ebay Brand...
Anyways, I bought a Spyder HID set from Ebay seller bdliquidator and am very happy with them. Have a thread here.
No complaints. Had these for about 4 months now, got them for around $85 shipped. I think they are "Eagle Eye Smoked" but I could get the exact link if you want.
@dank1225 Can you post a link to the ones you have (the ones in the picture you posted). Also, bear in mind that eBay links are only good for something like 60 days, so if you can post brand/model info for everyone, that'd be great. Thanks
I replaced the badly scratched up headlights with a set off an eBay seller. While they looked great and were certainly inexpensive, when I turned them on, the light pattern wasn't exactly uniform. Besides dark spots at the bottom there were also shadow lines in the main viewing area. Also the right side adjustment wheel broke after 1/2 a turn. Had to pull them out and adjust by hand until the beam was where it needed to be. I'm sending them back for a refund.
How is the beam pattern of the ones you guys have gotten? The ones I got would drive me nuts at night.
