I'm looking to buy new headlight assemblies, and I want to make sure I get quality ones. There are some on Amazon at a good price. How can I tell if I'm getting quality headlights? |

Depends on where they are made and company Something like that I'd want Mopar or the best aftermarket I could find See what the comments are on each brand |

Headlamps from mopar are $240. The aftermarket ones range between $30-$80. I'm not sure how to determine which aftermarkets are the best. Haven't found a lot of comments. |

I installed new headlight assemblies in February that I ordered from NAPA. They were not cheap, but I'm glad I did it. I had polished the old ones a few times, but they were looking pretty sad. The new ones look ... uh ... new, plus the illumination is much better. |

Anyone have any experiences with the less expensive aftermarket headlights? $30 each compared to $240 each is a huge difference for my budget. |

I picked up one of these for my driver's side replacement. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinf ... 463&jpid=0 My current one is very foggy. I was planning on attempting to swap it out this weekend. Once I do I'll post up some info about it. |

I got some for like $50 on ebay and they look oem to me. of course, I am using them for a Bi-xenon retrofit so reflector quality wasnt an issue for me. |

The napaonline price was a little better than $240. I paid $400 for both assemblies including freight and tax. I was very happy with the quality. I didn't even have to re-aim them. That may not be in your budget, but others may find the information useful. |
