Why haven't I seen these headlights installed?

I have been looking at these lights almost as long as I've owned my truck and have yet to see any real pictures of them.

I get the feeling the lights don't look like this in person. What do you guys think...

There must be a company in Taiwan or China making these... The "form" looks the same as the recons and even the ones MicTouch installed... Yet they all have subtle differences. They must just be rebadged and painted different ways, but come from the same mold somewhere overseas?

You've probably seen them. Seems like all the aftermarket headlights are so similar it's hard to tell them apart. Some people must have these and don't even know that they're these because they've either bought from third party with no name or they simply just don't know the difference with all the similar aftermarket headlights around.

Am I seeing things or are one of the lamps more of a halogen look and the outsides are the HID's? It almost looked as if the inner light was halogen...

Yes, on the recons and the other cheap knock offs, the inner light is a halogen high-beam...
