Does anyone have any experience with the aftermarket "OEM quality" headlights offered by companies such as certifit Certifit Online - Replacement Headlamp Combination Assembly Driver Side <i>Sport Model</i> for 2006,06,2007,07,2008,08,2009,09,TOYOTA,4RUNNER
I am getting ready to do an HID retrofit in 06+ projectors but I need an extra set of headlights for the vehicle while I work on it. I'm torn between using the aftermarkets while I do the retrofit on my OEMs, or using the aftermarket headlights for the retrofit since I'm replacing the projector anyways. My OEM headlights have a lot of scratches/dings on the lenses since it is a 6 year old vehicle so have a clear lens would be nice without having to wetsand etc, but I don't want to have to deal with poor fitment or condensation issues. I tried searching but almost all the threads deal with OEM headlight assemblies

do the retrofit on the toyota OEM headlights NOT the aftermarket ones, ive had a few sets of aftermarket brands & can tell you that while they may work ok, the quality is not as good, just feel the weight of each, the oem is much heavier , i believe this is in part due to the lens being thicker. even when heating to separate for painting, the aftermarket has sometimes developed hair line cracks. so imo, if your spending the cash on doing a retro, spend a the extra $ & get toyota OEM.
