Default Headlight Question

I just bought an 04 DSG Mach 1 and looking to replace the headlights. I've narrowed it down to the black housing with clear lens / clear turn signals.

I'd like to get something of quality that won't cloud up in a short amount of time. Does anyone know any specific brands that will fit this need?

I got some off eBay and they were junk. Fit like crap and one won't adjust.

I've never had problems from the off American muscle. Just make sure to get some silicone and deal them up before you install them. That'll prevent the moisture build up.

Keystone is a good resource for OEM parts. It's what most body shops use, since most damage isn't in pairs. You can buy one, or a pair.

I got mine off ebay, OEM. The ones that came on my car when I bought it were so clouded they were pretty much useless. The ones I bought fit fine and have actually really surprised me with how long they've lasted in the AZ sun without the least bit of clouding (about 3 years). Still pretty much look like new, and they weren't top of the line either.

Those smoked ones in the last image on eBay look awesome. If you buy from that seller, and they fit well, I may buy them.

Decided I'll first try to buff the crud out of my current headlights this weekend and if I can't get them looking how I want I'll purchase new lights next week. Still not sold on what kind yet.
