Default Ebay headlights?

So I am planning on replacing my headlights since the mounting brackets broke and my headlights aim down (I have to drive with my high beams on in order to see at night). anyhow I don't know how much longer I am going to keep my Si so I don't want to dump a bunch of money into it. Does anyone have any experience with the ebay replacements? More specifically fitment and quality. I am not going blacked out or JDM or anything. Just looking for a simple replacement. I did a search but didn't find the responses I was looking for. Thanks in advance.

If you find replacements, I would go with Depo

but they usually have just as bad light output...

honestly after cost + shipping you might as well have gone out to a junkyard and get some stockers... because personally i have had 2 cars with ebay head lights and light out put was terrible

I don't know why I didn't think of the junkyard. I am going to have to look into that. Thanks!

Both Depo and TYC make stock style replacement headlamps. I would just go with one of those as they cost about the same as what you get from the junkyard and the lenses won't be pitted or yellowed from UV damage.

Is it possible to just buy new mounting brackets?
