headlights custom aftermarket or OEM?

[SDChris]

I broke a headlight today driving back from the lake, I have been looking at aftermarket custom headlights online and I was surprised at how inexpensive they were. Does anyone have a recommendation? Spyder auto has some nice looking "halo LED" type style, I want a quality part, something that will last.

I've got the Spyder Auto LED/Halo/Projector types on my 012.. I sure like'm. Changed out their bulbs to SilverStars... Super bright/broad light pattern.

Excellent Quality construction.. as good as OEM. Perfect fitment.

I found a set of the Spyder auto ones I really like for $258, were they hard to install, I assume you have to align them after install?

Nope, at least on my 12 they weren't*.. 4 mounting bolts for the assemblies.. a little wire splicing.. that's it.

I think they come unaligned (2wd/4wd ?)... so I aimed mine Up a bit.. but not to high so as to not blind folks.. when the 5r's in tow.

*on the 12's you halfta remove the Grille first. not a issue.

It is a 4wd. sounds pretty straight forward.

Thanx Joe.

How's your headlight purchase?
Talked to two buddies the other day, with their new headlights one got Recon and other got custom black halo. You may want to check them too:

They should be here in 4 or 5 days. I got the Spyder auto ones, chrome because I have a chrome grill, with the halo and LED lights in them. I like the look of the black ones but I don't think they would look right with a chrome grill.
