I want to say you get what you pay for, but in all honesty, 95% of aftermarket projectors are all made in China anyways.
They may or may not leak after a while. Once they do, heat them up to pull them apart and then just re-seal them. Otherwise, that's the only issue cheapo headlights have is the seal. otherwise. i would buy them.

Yes they will happen for no reason. leaks occur from the cheap seals used. they also occur from lack of quality control! Pretty much that's all that there is to worry about with those. Fitment, all aftermarkets will be the same. Some minor gaps and a little persuasion for fitment.

You may never have a leak issue??? cards are in the air, but again, what do you expect for $135 to your door. i consider them throw-aways for that price. use'em until you have a problem and just buy new one's.

for that price I say get them you will probably have to add another 100 (give or take) for ones over the net.

No you cant, or at least it said so on the set I got. Theyre cool lights but the rings only show up at dusk and night
