Black Head Lights

What would you recommend, should I buy HD head lights ( Higher price But I know what I'm going to get ), Hella Head lights ( Less money) or Ebay head lights ( cheaper, I'll have to re seal them )??? I was looking hard at the ones 6th from the bottom.

I'd stay clear of the cheap parts, you get what you pay for. OE and Hella lights are going to be quality.

The lens on the cheaper ones will weather faster and start checking.

pay more for better lights, cheap will look bad break and not be worth the money saved when you have to fix them

I get ford parts through my father who works for ford. I get the parts at cost, but the parts guys aren't the brightest. They always tell me that I need a vin to be able to find the parts. If I have a Part number they have no problem.

Never mind, I found and bought the Hella head lights for a good price at $185. Thanks for everyone's help. www.buyautotruckaccessories.com (coupon FTE15200) The coupon is only good if your cart is at least $200.00 so get the head lights and a $3.95 light bulb and the coupon drops the price to $185.
