Default OK to buy headlights on ebay?

I just installed Silverstars into my 95 Mustang, but the light still shines through as yellowish since the headlights have gotten so chalky/dirty/yellow over the years. So now I want to buy a set of crystal clears. Do you guys think it's ok to buy them off of ebay or will they be cheap pieces of junk? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

EDIT: Here is what I would like to purchase: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-98...26668892QQrdZ1

i'd stay away from "no name" brands but otherwise ebay is a good place.

EDIT: you might want to take a look at the sponsors too before purchasing, they have very competitive prices, quality and service assured.

You could always clean your headlights as a semi-temporary fix

since you have an sn95 id go with the cobra clear lenses, they are on ebay also for 125$. i have a set on my car and they look awesome, no leaks or anything. only problem is the black strip on one started comming off within about 7 months, so i glued it back on no problem. other than that they are awesome.

heres a shot of mine. i swear, new rims and new lights and people think my car is new. despite the very rough paint and fact its ten years old. ha

replace your bulbs with a super white light, that helped my car out so much, before i couldnt see that well at night i put in the white bulbs and it made the worlds difference and u can get them as low as $11

I would look at the feedback rating before you decide to purchase from any single manufacturer that sells on there.

I was reading through one guys feedback, he had like 6000 positive, and 600 negative. 1 in 10 isn't a good ratio if you deal with numerous makes and models. You might spend money, get the wrong bulbs and then have to ship them back taking longer.
