    Parts?

    I have a question about some lights I saw on Ebay. Are these lights trustworthy at all?

        By trustworthy I mean, do they fog up or get condensation inside of them easily because they're cheaply made? Or are they pretty good, but just not MHW quality.

          The taillights are just factory units that are painted with tint spray. They arent bad, but they look BLACK typically, and it is paint. MHW ones arent as dark, but they aren't painted. The MHW ones are my preference as they are smoked during manufacture.

          The front signals suck. You do have to do some rewiring. They come with a single filament bulb unlike the factory dual, and they drill a hole in the opposite side and put in a wedge bulbe. The factory harness wont plug in at all. The wedge bulb that they drill for has the black and white wires that you see sticking out. They dont blink as bright. I ended up just pulling the lens off and putting it on my factory housing. No rewiring necassary, just a colored bulb. Unless you like changing the factory setup. Just got em, so I dont know about leakage.

              I'd reccomend the real deal [MHW] for the tails and turns. Abrahama Motorsport sells both I believe.

                Now, is it cheaper to use Abrahams or Bavarian, or are these MHWs?
