Replacing headlamps on a vehicle question.

Are the after market ones on ebay ok or should I go factory only. Big difference in price.

I've been using after market lamps in my truck for the last 3 years. I've also been replacing each one again after a few months. I'm going with factory from here on out

I've had mixed results with aftermarket ones, but it is a drastic cost savings. The biggest problem with the aftermarket ones is that the gaskets generally aren't seated right which can lead to condensation build up in the interior of the housing. My last set I put a clear silicone beading around all the exterior connection lines in the body of the housing, and have not had *knock on wood* any condensation problems in the roughly 6 months I've had this set.

Depends, do some research. Some of the aftermarket full replacements are junk and some are very high quality.
