Headlights OEM FORD or EAGLE EYES

I had a 2014 ST1 and I got a pair of those Eagle Eye headlights from ebay for $300. Ran them for over 100K miles before I sold it. The LED's never burned out and the only water ingress issue I had was because I baked and separated the housing to black out the reflectors and screwed up the plastic so it didn't seal right again after that. I will say they got foggy after like 4-5 years but I just sanded and re-cleared them and they were good as new again

The ford transit headlight that came in today had 6x the padding

I don't know how ford managed to do it at this price point but these headlights are astonishingly good. I took a maverick out for a test drive at night and with the low beams, I was lighting up 3 lanes of traffic. My wife has a gle 350 with the high performance headlights and I can confidently say the headlights in this truck are comparable with the benz. The led reflectors throw the light quite far and the low beams are nice and bright as well.

If I remember, the Eagle Eye headlights were a solid oem replacement.

Don't buy Eagle Eyes. I have used them for other vehicles, but on my GMT800 they broke on the mounting pin holes within a year.

I replaced with Akkon brand in 2019 and they are still trucking, seem to be good quality.

So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.

They are the best of the aftermarket in my experience. That said they tend to fail with condensation after a year or so.

I bought some “eagle eyes” brand lights on eBay that look SO CLOSE to OEM, $250 for the pair. They’re crap. And turning the screws won’t even adjust them. They’re literal crap. They point at the ground and I can’t even see more than twenty feet in front of me at night.

I hate that my 2016 Focus needs to go to the dealership for recoding just to replace the damn headlights.

i bought an is300 with aftermarket headlights and moisture seeped in within a week of me having them, not sure how long they were installed. Bought new ones, sealed them with silicone which I found out doesn’t work well, then used a black rubber type sealant and it’s been fine ever since.
