Icon2 Anyone know a good palce to get OEM replacment headlights

Searched around a little bit on the web and found a few sites, also looked in the lighting section here, it was lacking, so does anyone know of a trusted site that sells headlights that aren't going to break in a month? I'd rather not get ripped off a few times in my search for some new headlights. Car is an 01 Accord if it matters to anyone.

You lookin for the bulb or the housing? Is yours broke or just oxidized? If only yellow, they sell a kit for about $25, all you need is a drill and about an hour of your time. Will look like new

I actually mean the housing. They are yellowed and I've used a kit on them before but it's pretty bad. It didn't get much better after the kit. So I'm just going to get new housings. And honestly I have used the sylvania bulbs from walmart with a lot of success. Nothing less than silverstars though.

Get the 3m kit, it has 500, 800, 3000 grit sandpaper, along with a polish pad and compound. I spent a good hour on mine. You have to take your time and go slow. They look like new. I was a skeptic, but you have to use a drill motor to get good results.
