    Aftermarket (unless CAPA) often has questionable optics and faulty seals that allow moisture behind the lens. See the headlight upgrade link in my sig for the best prices I've found and part numbers.

    Worst choice ever.
    They leak
    They have worse output

    Just about any of the cheapies (spyder being one), also tend to have a clear coat on the INSIDE fade and peel as well.
