would anyone buy these over a used set of oem headlights? i cant find any oem headlights for under $200

what are your thoughts???
Thanks

 

This question was asked not too long ago. I would stay away from both.

Why?

The China headlight only has a 7 day exchange period. You have to be careful about those short exchange and no returns eBay listings. Also, you would have to be concerned about the fitment.

The second one has a "no returns accepted" policy which means you could be buying junk (not literally) and as long as the item looks like the one pictured, Ebay/paypal general will side with the seller. You will also have to be careful about the fitment.

Now, with that being said, if someone else has purchased the same item from either one of those sellers, they may be able to shed more light/insight into this matter for you.

I say try and find a headlight assembly from a salvage yard or someone parting out their bike. Usually, the two tabs are broken off (result of the bike going down), but the headlight will still fit and stay in place as long as you have all of the screws. Otherwise, you would just have to worry about the light bulbs and the harness connector--which should be fine anyway.

 

they actually look decent, but the fitment would be questionable to me. i also don't like the chrome all over the inside of the headlight, the stock one is all black. if you don't mind that, go for it.

 

I seen a member from here that ordered one in person and it looked perfectly fine. It even has a space for a third eye. He put a red third eye in there. Over all I liked it but would like it more if it was black. Contact this guy on stuntlife "jonsy" he had one for like $80. He actually still has it he sent me a PM because I bought a cheaper better one and he was pissed.

 

u can find a used one oem for way cheap on stuntlife there are at least 3 new f4is being parted out everyday there it seems like

 

No kidding....always an F4i bein' parted out there. Certainly seems like there is no shortage of squids on that site lol...
