You've been warned. Buy at your own risk.
Completely false? 100%?

If you polish hazy plastic headlights you're removing the protective clear coat. No?

How do you know quickly the LEDs will fail?

Housings not sealed in the slightest? C'mon!

If you can go on, please do so. I need more information... personal experiences... anything... as I've been looking at those lights... been reading reviews and personal experiences... and would appreciate you saving me $1,000 if otherwise I'm going to screw myself. I'm not yet convinced.

Thank you.
