Default GS460 Headlights

Hello,

Currently looking for headlights for my 08 GS460. Dealer is out of the question due to high prices. I've been scouring ebay, craigslist, car-part, and so far most of the inventory found on those sites are used OEM, with broken tabs, cracked lens, missing ballast and HID bulb, etc. I dont mind buying used OEM headlights, but I cant justify paying $600+ for a used headlight that is missing tabs and or has the lens cracked. Then this morning I came across this listing (see below) on ebay. Set of brand new aftermarket headlights for $900. Has anyone heard of this brand or bought aftermarket headlight(s) before and can share their experience. The price is very tempting, but if they are going to fall apart in year or less, I rather keep searching and buy a used OEM. Any advice/opinion is welcomed.

Those headlights will not compare to OEM. I would buy a headlight with a broken tab over china aftermarket.

What side do you need? Whats the problem with the originals?

Thanks for the response. I agree that the aftermarket will not compare to the OEM. I need the right side. Lens is cracked beyond any repair. I have the ballast and HID bulb. Just need the bare headlamp. Mine is the one with AFS and Washer.
