They make no mention of the eyebrow and no pics of the eyebrow lit up. Also the final pic has the angel eyes lit up and again the eyebrow is not. I would do some research

before i paid even $20 for these.

The pic is OEM and the product isn't. Why? It probably has poor finish and fitment issues. Too risky IMHO. I'd head call a couple of breakers and see what you can locate.

The pic is not OEM. These are manufactured by the company Eagle eyes. If you look closely at the bottom of the lens you will see the company name.

in that ebay auction picture the reason the brows aint lit is because they just have the angel eyes joined to a bench power supply or somin to just demo the eyes

not lighting the while head light like the car would


well thats my guess hehe (coz that picture clearly shows the brow LEDs)
