those pictures are confusing. do they come with corner lamps too? i know the title says headlights, but why have the corner lamps in there too unless they were selling it with the heads

i'm pretty sure it's NOT. have you ever tried taking out the headlights???? there's no way you could get them back in if it were ONE whole piece with the corner lights.

why don't you just ask the seller....? :/

I actually bought these lights for my retrofit.

the headlight is not one piece, the side lamps are separate, and the sides also comes with bulbs.

as far as quality is concerned, these lights sucks. The set i received cannot adjust upwards (the screw on the side of the headlight that adjust vertical orientation does not move fully up) so the entire beam points maybe 20ft away from the car, making the low beam essentially fog.

in fact, i left them a negative feedback.

and on top of that, their return department is extremely nasty about returns, they refused mine because I was a few days over their stingy 7 day return period......

They've long been in the garbage, so I'd suggest you go with some other sellers.

I purchased these headlights/side markers after having a small fender bender and needed to replace one of the headlights. They are horrible. You only get like 20 ft on low beams. Not positive if it's because the bulbs they ship with are horrible or if its the black trim ring.

On a slightly different note, since I replaced the bumper, passenger fender, and both headlights/side markers 2 days ago, my running lights dont turn on. I just got pulled over driving home for not having rear running lights. The turn signals in both front and back work but no running lights. Also, when I lock or unlock the car using the fob, none of the lights blink. WTF? Any ideas?

^^^ they look good. they fit pretty good (not as well as stock)
light output isnt very good at all.
if you had HID's you might have better light output but with normal bulbs output isnt great....

DO NOT BUY THESE AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS!!!!!

Im talking the ones on ebay.

The ones I bought gave me quite the headache. I realized they were burning out the running light fuse (behind the coin tray thingy). After dicking around for 2 hours with an ohmmeter and my dad(who is an electrician) we figured out that the harness that connects the turn signal bulbs with the existing car plug creates a short. I had to dig out my old OEM turn signal connectors to get them to stay on. That ebay seller will be getting one negative review!!

Buyer beware!
