Care to tell where?

NVMYSVT - Thanks for that update! I was hoping you'd chime in. I guess I didn't see a place on the Rockauto website, that allows you to choose which quality you want. Thanks for that bit of info!

Then they aren't OEM I'll bet. They are probably Depot headlights, and they suck a nut.

If they are depo lights, they won't fit (I know, I have them) perfectly... and mark, I think its more like a couple of nuts, not just one. Pisses me off every time I walk by the front of my car.

Close up pictures? Depot headlights stick out on the side where it meets with the fender.

I wouldn't bother with a sealant to protect your new headlights, simply grab 2 sheets of 6"x24" Lamin-x, comes in 20 or 40 mil clear, yellow, blue, smoke and black (Colors are 17mil.)!

Check out the demo of the scratched 5 series...

This might sounds stupid, but before I go and buy brand new headlights and all might as well see if i'm right. When I go to buy new headlights, does the assembly come with the mounting bracket that bolts onto the headerpanel? All of the clips on my headlights broke so its kind of retrofitted on there... if someone could please let me know it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
~Dan
