OEM looking aftermarket AP2 headlights on ebay
Just spotted these on ebay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-2004-200...sAAOSw6PtccKXU
Anyone know if these are good? I have been looking replacements since mine have stress cracks allover and these are the first OE looking ones I have found for a fraction of the cost of actual ones |

Who knows what they put in those housing? |

I'm hesitant. Looks wise, they look like OEM so no issues there, but we can't say the same about the actual performance of the projector.

I haven't taken a good look at the housing yet, but would it be possible to swap the projector with the original?
If you really want to get just get some new headlight covers. I would buy these replicas, and just swap the replica lenses onto your OEM housing. |
I'd trust an expert on the subject and avoid aftermarket headlamps at all costs: A Stern Talkin' To About OEM Headlamps?
Having said that, buying the cheapest aftermarket "OEM-style" headlamps I could find and swapping the plastic cover is something I'd consider. |

That would require you to re-align the projectors in the new housing. Which can be tedious, annoying, and most people won't get it right.

Thanks! I would like to do the lens swap (or maybe even projector swap, if I find mine have broken tabs when I take them off) but suprisingly there are none for sale on eBay currently. |
What you want to do is is just swap the projector, or purchase new morimoto projector lenses.

I agree that swapping the projectors is ideal, however if my headlights tabs/casing is still in good condition I will probably keep OEM just to avoid having to align the projectors which I hear is not very easy to do correctly.
Why would I want to buy aftermarket projectors if I have perfectly good OEM ones? |
Most just buy them for the lenses and replace their old OEM sunbaked ones.
