Default aftermarket headlights

I am looking to get some 2006 "night runner" style headlights for my 2007,but have not been able to find any reviews anywhere.Actually I have only been able to find one manufacturer name(TYC) to put with any of them. Are most of them made by one manufacturer in China,and just sold by several distributors,or are there different levels of quality?I don't want to pay (X amount) more for the same product.Here are some of the sites I have been looking at:

http://www.am-autoparts.com/Dodge/Ra...97/381123.html

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TYC-2...item230921a0ec
Thanks in advance

I'm guessing they are all Chinese so I would go with link #2 for the price.
If you want the yellow bar to work, you will have to splice into your wiring and add the bulb sockets. I'm thinking about them myself.

Thank you Kay9,I would rather have OEM than aftermarket even if they are used.Unfortunately your response is more hopeful than helpful.

lxman1 thanks for the response.Mostly I wanted a black bezel,but I have read a few things here about the light bar.Its a nice option,and I decided on these rather than another set of chrome(which I would have to paint),partly so I would have that option.I have some other mods in the works right now,but the headlights are something I wanted to get some info ahead of time.

Thanks JDG103, Yep I have read it several times and will likely do that with my originals,but my problem right now is free time.Between work,kids,house,dog,etc., my freetime comes is very short intervals.I had to buy a 2nd hand grille so that I could make my own inserts without having to worry about pulling/replacing my original every chance I had to work on it.They still aren't done...haha.Thanks for the heads up though.

That's cool. The set i recommended is cheaper than the eBay listing you posted plus being obo the price is negotiable so you may be able to get lower than your other links.
They are smoked too.

JDG103,
I will keep you posted, once I finally get something finished and photographed.My inserts are cut/shaped and mostly painted.It will probably be weekend after next before I have a chance to pull my grille(I am placing inserts into my original grille,* its in better shape*).Its my first non bolt-on mod,and I am excited.More to come.

kay9,
Thanks again.I'm not quite ready to purchase yet. Seeing that they are smoked I will not ask for a link. I will probably just go with clear lenses.The cops can be lame in this state.
