Default Headlight set, need input!

So i need to change a corner, didn't feel like cooking it open and replace the damned seal, plus i have been wanting to do this mod for a while now (seen similar ones on a few trucks here).

So here's the product:

Linky



My main question is, when they claim "Made By OEM Approved Manufacturer. Top quality And Perfect Fitment", do they really mean a company that is contracted to do ford parts produces this on the side? It does appear to be the exact same parts that are on my truck atm..

Or is it false advertizing and i should stay away? Personal experiences?

Thanks

Bought several of these styled headlights for several different cars I owned. All have been legit. Have no fear

The only problem with that is if he messes up he has no headlights for his truck

I had a set just like that they were ugly.

06+ corners are simple to bake and separate 5 minutes and they literally fall apart. Sealing them back is simple also.

I ALMOST bought these but the shipping was insane. I'm going to paint mine myself once I get a free weekend. It's cheaper. Just gotta buy some clear corners.

Thanks for the input guys! (and girl lol )

The reason i don't want to start baking and glueing (sp?) back is it'll never give a clean look like those will. I don't like the messy caulking crap all around, plus the paint is never going to be even like this.

What i initially wondered is that they claim a company that makes the oem parts also makes these, so they must be as good as oem parts? I mean they look exactly the same as the parts i have atm.
