Default Replacement Headlights?

Do any of the aftermarket headlights compare to the OEM's as far as quality?
Had a body repair friend tell me he has had alignment issues with the aftermarket stuff. Once he got the low beams aligned the high's were out of whack with no was to adjust them separately.

As stated in my sig. I have a '99 Z28 and the stock headlights have fogged and yellowed, so I'm looking at replacing them. Is the a certain brand any of you guys prefer? Don't care for the halo's just something comparable to stock.

Thanks for any info.

if you get different headlights you can just swap your original headlight brackets over to them and then they would be aimed properly..i did this when i had halos on my car, it was the only way i got them aimed properly

Do not buy pro car parts "whistler"(the inside reflectors are painted black) headlights off of ebay. Total junk, cracked and yellowed on me in less than a year.

Posted in the Parts Wanted section looking for a set of OEM's but it didn't take long for my post to be off the first page and I didn't get any responses.
