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.

thats good advice, I've even noticed some factory seals that are not all that good, but it is rare..
