From what I have seen, all the sellers on eBay and the internet make decent black housing headlights but their quality control is not good. I'd say half the people end up with some sort of water leaks or fogging. This leaves you with two options: reseal the headlights or make your own using the solaraguy tutorial on it. From what i heard the light output is not the same as oem headlights. What exactly is wrong with your right assembly? They may just need to be reconditioned.

WHOA another CT person... Neways yea id just buy the headlights off ebay if you really want them, but alot of people have said they have problems aiming them properly and the light output isnt as good as stock.. but i must say they do look good on certain color cars.. i thought about gettin them but i liked the stock headlights with my silver car..

well i got into an accident 2 march's ago while i was on my way home from school (not my fault, well my fauilt in the fact that i was too close, but we just got out of a light and this ghetto hoopty cut infront of the suburban in front of me.. the hoopty had to brake almost hitting a pedestrian, then the suburban brakes smashes into the hoopty.. then i brake but the abs kicked in too late)

anyways, the screwpoints for my R corner lamp snapped off, and my right headlight is pushed in about 3-4cm and slightly cracked. the front 3 feet of my hood was fubar.. I changed the hood thanks to samson, but it doesnt latch properly because the hood latch was bent and i tried to bend it back as much as i could, but it made my hood look like its on release on the right side. Moreover, i havent been able to fix the cosmetics, but now that i have the fundage i need to get my car looking correct (drop, rims, ice, etc) before i manage to end up blowing it all at the craps table or having to pay for my tuition (coming up real soon).. thanks for the input guys

I sort of had the same situation. Got involved in an accident, and then wanted to get new parts. I got some off ebay, but they don't aim correctly and I can't really re-aim them. I bought from a seller called speedfantasy. I have a 2001. I think the Gen 1.5 guys may have better luck.
This is the space where I should write something witty or clever, hoping to show some personality.
