Cool

They will probably fog up as most aftermarket ones do .. its because the sealant isnt quality like the factory ones are..however the ones on my sierra are ebays and i have very little issues with them fogging..the cheap HIDs i settled for that they offered with my headlights were not the best/brightest out there .. Its a toss up because even if you order from a dealer/accessory store they still have tendency to fog up..just check there return policy and cross your fingers

I think I am going to try my hand at doing my own as this guy did. You can buy oem projectors and fit them to your own housing and actually have a quality set up

New projector lights retrofit - Chevy and GMC Duramax Diesel Forum

This is where this guy got his projectors he used

Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc

here are some customer submitted pics

Ebay projectors... Been there, done that. Never again!

"You get what you pay for" definitely pertains to headlights.

The ones on my NBS fogged up, were impossible to adjust properly, and eventually melted one of the housings. With stock bulbs, not HIDs. Plus the little Halos and LEDs kept burning out.

And the seller wouldn't do anything about it.

Word of advice, stay away... far far away.

Sorry I had a bad experience... rant over.
