We'll see how they hold up, the G sleeps in my garage so that should contribute to a longer life. I'll keep everyone posted.

I see. I think the main concern is the lens holding up and not hazing easily and the inside parts staying in tact. like no chrome peeling and stuff. hows the light output?

The output is very good, no complaints.

Checked out the alignment against the garage door in pitch darkness, the lights appear to be aligned just right.

Well I'll take that back, I do have to do a minor adjustment, I will work on that tomorrow. I took it for a spin and the left light is aiming higher than the right. I have to get familiar with the adjustment procedures.

I dont see the difference, are they just new 04 headlights?

You should have bought 06+ projectors or refurbished your stock ones IMO

And you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Projectors were out of my budget range and I really dig the fresh new look.

Three months have past and absolutely no problems, no moisture/condensation or cracking issues. I am satisfied with these aftermarket lights. I will provide feedback again in six month.

That's great. Most after marker lights look like crap in no time.

Glad these are working for you.
