That's what I plan on doing when the time comes. Blaze some trails bro. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as long as you seal them well. The prob with the eBay lights is they aren't sealed well, and the electronics suck. The lenses should just be dot approved plastic. I would try to put some sort of clear coat on them for longevity tho.

Wait, you have 03 lights? Honestly, man, you can find really nice 03/4 lights used for about the same amount as eBay lights these days cuz everyone wants the 06 lights.

There were some on here not too long ago in fact for like $400/pair.
