Default Are these 06+ headlights legit?

Looking for a set of 06+ headlights and i ran across this site that has a pair brand new for $770. just checking in with everyone else to see if you guys think its a legit place to buy the pair cuz 770 is a pretty good price for these new.
heres the site:

Yes they are legit.

NOTE: If you have an auto insurance policy that reads “May substitute OEM replacement parts for OEM parts," this is a OEM replacement part.

I like how in the title it says "with Bulbs and ballasts", then in the specs, "Bulbs not included", then 2 bullets down, again, it says, "Comes with bulbs and ballasts"

Check that first before you purchase OP.

They're not OEM, but they'll do I guess.

^^ correct, these are aftremarket headlights, so the plastic is much thinner, and the plastic clear lens is thinner and will not last as long as the OEM.. good news is they are all reverse compatible... ie, OEM 06 headlights can use DEPO brand 03 halogen lenses..

long story short, when your lenses go bad in a few years, you can buy a cheapo set of 03s and yank the lenses off them.. i just did that w great results.

Jesus that's a lot. I knew I'd gotten an exceptional deal, but I didn't realize it was that good. At those prices, I probably would have just stuck with the crappy > 06 lights.

Safety first-- get the lights. The old model projectors are horrible. I was always straining to see at night.

I also upgraded to OEM 06+ for that reason, on top of them looking better.
