Default headlight suggestions

Been looking to replace stock headlights but dont want to pay for a retrofit. Any pics or suggestions of some nice ones to help me choose. Was thinking of these does anybody else have them ?

This question reguarding headlights comes up weekly.

It is commmon knowledge that the ebay headlights will leak and it is sugested to reseal prior to use.

Since they are halogen projectors, there is more than likely no cutoff shield, so HID bulbs should not be used in these.

Your call, personally I would skip 'em.

For about $300 you can buy parts and retrofit on your own, there is a lot of info out there on the topic.
