Default Smoked Headlights

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a set of these: 03 04 05 06 Chevy Silverado Avalanche Head Lights Smoked Bumper Lamps | eBay
Anyone have or had them before? Wondering about overall quality and fitment.

I have them, they fit and look nice, but the parking lights WILL get moisture in them, im about to take my second one out and try and seal it up again. All after market lights do this from my experience in the past..
also the headlight adjustment isnt worth a ****(cant go left or right, only up and down), it prob will be different than OEM stuff fwiw..

My marker lights already have a moisture issue, so that won't be anything too new. I just need something that's not headlight covers.

I had a set of smoked ones but they fit like chit and the adjusters were a joke. Don't remember what brand cuz I got them for free from a buddy. I just went back to stock and painted the sides to match the truck.

I bought some and both headlights had moisture in them within a couple months. I tried clearing my factory lights myself, and thanks to my lack of patience I cooked one a little too much in the oven. I was fed up with it and just bought stock units from GM and had them cleared from one of our members.

If they end up getting water in them I'll just do like my last set of aftermarket headlights and drill a little hole in the bottom. Drains out the water and keeps condensation from happening.
