    Hello ToyHeadz,

    I recently threw down $160.00 for an LED conversion kit from Headlight Experts.
    After installing one side it was apparent that the unit did not fit properly (it was to small for the housing - rattled around like change in a tin can). Upon opening up the the other unit The rubber boot was torn.
    Being my daily driver I needed lights Stat, so I went to O'Reilly and threw down $66.00 for OEM type Hallogens.
    Then I contacted customer service and explained the issue. They refused to grant a return and refund because they were now considered "Used". There response was to send me a new boot and two strips of tape-backed foam "gaskets" (uber cheesy IMO).
    Buyer beware, this product was advertised as a "perfect fit" replacement. BS!!!

    Regards,

    Ninety2Door

    Yeah, stick to OEM headlights and at best do the bulb mod. Aftermarket LED options are not really where they need to be yet.
