Cracked a rear lens last winter and noticed a while back that water was getting in. Went online to get a replacement and was shocked how inexpensive they are. I ended up getting both rears -- was afraid that they would look different if I had one OE and the aftermarket..... ordered the headlights and front markers as well (too cheap to pass up). My headlights just started to get a slight fog on the top. My turns were fine ..... for $13 each .. figured I would splurge.
I'm shocked at the quality -- the stuff is really nice and all six for less then $150.00 delivered. And they came with the bulbs -- except the front turns.
Had the car detailed this morning and installed the lights -- really looks freshened up. The headlight work a lot better.

Re: replacement headlights/ tails
Damn, not bad at all! They do really spruce things up, huh? I got new headlights for my wife's Camry a little while ago since the old ones were nearly painted yellow. I'm curious to see how they hold up with age.
Hold onto your old bulbs; most of the bulbs that came with mine burned out in the first few weeks

Re: replacement headlights/ tails
Yes .. they look great with the now clean while pearl paint.
The head /tails are from Taiwan and the included bulbs were decent quality. I had recently installed upgraded Sylvania headlight bulbs -- switched them out. The tails come complete with the harness and sockets -- Install is to remove the grommet under the tail lens and snap in the whole assembly. Takes two screws on each -- about 5 min to do both.
The fronts are a bit more work -- took about 1.5 hours. Mostly to figure out how to remove the clips on the grill and the lower headlight trim. If I did another I would order the four little clips -- two on each valance and just snap them off. time would drop in 1/2
The lights look the same as the OE -- the low cost makes trying to clean the headlights a waste of time and money. The turns are from China. The old harness and socket transfers over to the new lens.
