Default Ebay headlights any good? will they work with a turbo? anybody purchased them?

Has anybody purchased these lights and are they any good? I just hit a bird a couple of weeks ago and it broke the lenses I have now. I am hoping to upgrade the lights but don't know about these "cheapies". It said for non turbo, is there a difference between non turbo and turbo? Kneale is this what you were talking about when you have to cut the grill and remove the bumper?
Thanks for the help

I'm not familiar with that seller name. I've sent him a question regarding what company made these lights.

These are the non-turbo shape that requires either replacing your grille with one from a non-turbo car or hacksawing your grille like I did.

I paid more than twice that for my used E-code lights. Makes me suspect these are some off-brand product.

Note that he's not including the sidelights that are in the pictures. Finding those can be expensive too.

Default As kneale points out...100...etc.. Also ask the seller...

Ask what brand they are.
Depo I agree is c$%$#$$ but if they are from TYC this would be a good deal TYC is from Taiwan and does good quality stuff.

Bosch or HELLA I definitely agree these are not...not with that price.

So, Paul, does TVC also make the sidelights?
