Opinions on Headlights

Hey guys i'm in need of some new headlights because the past three pairs that I've had have all either leaked, started to fade or have the lens coating flake off. im looking for the oem style only with the black housing. I've found these three on carid. any advice on which one is better quality, they are three different brands. Are there any other brands on other sites. Any advice/experiences/reviews appreciated.

Alissa, take a picture from the side, so you can see straight through the lens itself without the reflector behind it. He's trying to see if the plastic lens material is tinted. On an LS it's clear, on an SS it's tinted. Some aftermarket lights use the clear, some don't.

that'll work. Your pictures made it hard to tell with the black reflector behind.

I had a different set of black stocks just like the depo ones, but it was a different brand. They also looked clear but i took them apart and the lenses were tinted.

a slight tint shouldn't be a problem. I just don't want them "blacked out" if the ones in the link that I reposted are the same ones in your pix ill be happy they look good
