Default Headlights...OEM vs Reproductions

Do you think there is a difference worth the extra $50:

I got facotry ford headlights from a local shop for the same price as reproductions ($69/ea)...They told me the reproductions were no good. You might want to check out AMP Performance...there in AZ whick is not too far from TX.

yea looks like you're going to get a lot of different opinions here. i recently put on the reproductions and i'm perfectly happy with them. but then again anything would have been better than the lights in my sig haha

Definitely not making it easy to make a choice

I guess the question is, which is going to turn yellow faster....We all know the Ford originals do...I wonder if the Repro's have the same lifespan...
