What's the quality like on these? Anyone have them installed? Anyone got pics of them on an EG?

Exchange rate is good so picking up a set for ~$200 isn't too bad.

Mainly concerned about quality, fitment and if it improves or hinders headlight display.

many if not all of the ebay/aftermarket lights will leak and let in water residue at one stage of their operation lives (generally at the early stages)

I'd at least make an attempt to seal them properly before installation, I had issues with my old lights


fitment will be spot on, always is, just the quality of the seal isn't there for waterproofing

I don't really care if it's JDM, USDM, AUDM or ZDM (Zimbabwe Delivered Model).

I only called it that because that's what ebay sellers call it so people who are helpful in this thread (such as EK1.6LCIV) can correctly reference it and know which one I'm talking about.

I haven't had any problems with mine when i had them on. A mate brought them over from OS (Pakistan) with him on his way back (same sh!t as ebay). The seals were good, the fitment was good, but my car was in a front ender in it's past history so my front doesn't line up 100%

PS: the indicators are a diy job so your's will look different (ie: amber not orange)
