I found the ebay ones are ok. I got sonar projectors, they seem not too bad, but they are of ok quality. To be honest, I really don't think anybody out there makes a really nice headlight yet that is of lasting quality.

The stock headlights new are very expensive too, so its kind of a tossup. I don't mind mine though, they have been on for about one summer and are still holding up. I can tell though already that they won't be lasting the life of the car...

This is true. It's either DIY or the ebay ones are decent enough. About the same price as an OEM replacement.

No. He's talking about taking apart the old stock ones and paint the inside black, aka whistler mod.
