Default What headlights to buy

I searched for a thread that I know exists, but I can't find it so I gave up. I think I settled on the amber corner lenses and just a plane 01-04 light. But what brand do you guys recommend? I see everywhere from 50-130 dollars for the "same lights."

I don't want a crappy light that's going to turn yellow or fall apart in a few years, but I didn't want to spend 130 bucks if I could help it. However I'm not afraid to spend the money if I know for sure those are the best and will probably be the last pair of headlights I buy for my car.

I don't want smoked lenses, just the factory light from 01-04 GT's. I don't want any cop trouble so I'm trying to keep it legal. I've seen a lot of people buy the e-bay lights or rock auto for about 100 bucks. Are those just as good as the AM lights for 130?



EDIT: I'm still kind of on the fense about clear corners or not. I looked at some pictures online but it's hard to find a good comparison.

Anyone have a picture of a yellow 01-04 new edge with before and after of amber vs clear corners?

I loved the way the looked but hated the complete lack of light output. I will never run smoked headlights again.
