Default headlight question

I have a '96 GT. When it comes to new headlights, should you stay only with the known name-brands or what? New headlights on americanmuscle.com are like $170. Ebay has some pretty sweet headlights for a total cost of around $110. So should i stay with name brands or is it cool to go with the other guys?


Here's what i'm looking at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95...spagenameZWDVW

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-98...spagenameZWDVW


How do these look?

I'd stick with AM they seem to have a really good track record with customer service and warrenty claims... Ebay, obviously not so much.

Bought my clear cornered lenses from AM and they still fog. However, they did post up a "How To" that shows you how to remidy the problem.

i can't remember who made mine, but they weren't the cheap ones, and they do great. They don't fog and haven't cracked. In some cases you get what you pay for, it just depends. There are somethings you can buy really cheap and work out fine, but others, not so much. Get the good kind
