Due to the low cost, I had pretty low expectations. I expected a lot of cheap plastic. I was wrong. The light is actually metal with real glass. I am a little worried about how thin the connection (light/bulb part) is to the frame itself, but so far so good. The light is also much larger than I expected. I have only had the lights installed for about 1-month, but everything is working out great and they are better than expected.
