Buying new headlights where?

[BrianMcLeod]

Hey guys/gals I'm going to buy new headlights because they are cracked in the inside. Where is the best place/cheapest place to buy headlights?

I've ordered TYC replacement lights before. They look like OEM. Get the TYC part number for your car and then google it. The best price shipped I found was at RockAuto

Salvage Yard or ebay

If you go the Rockauto route look for a coupon code, you can always find at least 5% off

Be careful with the e-Bay stuff. Occasionally the products are counterfeit and/or poor quality depending on where they come from.

Depending on the car you are looking for, there are often companies that offer after market parts that also a full range of OEM or high quality replacement parts for decent prices. Bavarian Motorsport from BMW, ECS for Audi/VW, OEM Mazda parts, or even J.C. Whitney all come to mind.

I think I'd go with Rock Auto or a brand specific parts place before going to E-bay. You might get the parts cheaper, but I'd rather pay a little more to make sure I got an assembly that did leak, short out, and all the attachment points line up.
