Ok, I'm going to be ordering the blacked out housing stock headlights and have a question as far as the different options available. I'm comparing the ones sold thru CTA's website (couldn't right click the pic to insert here) vs. other options on Ebay. Is there going to be a difference in terms of quality? Or are the products I'm comparing exactly the same?
modernperformance sells them as well and i must say ive been doing the same as you just comparing them with the ones on ebay. i cant see a difference in them, other than some have the top part of the light blacked out and others are clear.

I bought ones off of eBay almost a year ago...I'm not sure what brand they are but they are eternally 'fogged up'. Regardless of how many times I fix them.
First the turn signal bulb gasket was a POS so I replaced that with the stock gasket, Still Leaked...Then the big rubber gasket around the whole rear of the headlight was cracked and brittle (brand new) so I sealed thta up with glue , Still Leaked...Then I replaced the headlight bub gaskets with new ones, Still Leaked...It's the winter now and the fog (water) inside of it freezes up sometimes. Just Terrible.
I will be Rebuying them off of CTA Motorsports next time! I already wasted my time and money.

Perhaps you missed what I typed up above.. It's hit or miss with aftermarket lights.

I got mine from eBay and would highly suggest doing 3 things before installing them:
1. Replace the crap turn signal gasket that come with them with the one off your stockers.
2. Replace the crap full exterior rubber gasket that comes with them with your stockers.
3. Hot glue the entire exterior seal to prevent moisture from getting in.
All 3 of these things were recommend by haknslash when mine got moisture (after being installed for only 2 days) and after doing these 3 things I have not had any moisture get in (4 months and couting).
