Default headlight retro-fit question

So I have some hideous headlights in my car and I am wanting to perform a retro-fit to some stock ones. if I were to do this, can I use some ebay cheapies. The reason I ask is, I will be resealing them after the retro anyway, and isn't proper sealing the main problem with those headlights? Some insight would be great.

I've heard the ebay ones will "yellow" much faster than OEM.

or check ebay for DEPO headlights... theyre about as close to OEM as i have found...ive had them for about a year and a half and they havent began "yellowing" or even very small pitting that causes them to appear faded after time. theyre holding up great and theyre a lot cheaper than honda's bullshit prices

try a junkyard/pick a part near you, or craigslist, or ebay and look for some stock ones.

All the salvage yards here are all out of Honda parts right now. They rarely get them either, but I'll try the Depo's. You say they are a lot cheaper and decent quality as well?
