Default ebay headlights or not?

So i was searching on Google for some 94 Integra headlights, and this company came up K2motor. The site look pretty decent, so i did some searching on the forums, and many people say that they are decent but is ebay products.

They are doing a promotion for $20off, so is around $139
http://www.k2motor.com/

Should i get it or not? On a budget, and I also see people saying to get 2nd hand brand name parts if on a budget, if you have any that is under $139 send me the link please.

Headlamp optics are not something easy to design correctly.

<retracted to defer to the headlamp guru below>

If you actually value being able to see at night, it is generally best to stay OEM. Though, if you only drive in well lit major metropolitan areas, you might not have need of decent forward lighting...

And I oh so love the set of Valeo H7 projectors in my 02 A4, but an H7 bulb can't be compared to a 9006 bulb, as the H7 starts off with a 50% greater output to work with...

heh I don't think stock Integra projectors are that great at all. My mom's 07 Camry projectors are tons better than Integra projectors. Valeo H7 projectors used in Audis and other cars are better. Heck even the aftermarket halogen projectors on my boss's BMW Z3 put out a better beam pattern than stock Integra projectors.

Now, are we talking about OE-replica aftermarket headlights, or aftermarket-style clear lens, angel-ring, etc. etc. projector headlights?
