Best aftermarket headlight!?!?!

So I have a $400 project Grand Prix I have been slowly fixing up. The next issue I am tackling on the car is the yellowed, foggy headlights. I replaced the bulbs but the performance is still not what it should be. I would just restore my OEM ones but there is damage inside the assembly itself so I need replacement ones. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on it but I would sure like to be able to see where I'm going. I live in Michigan so I experience every different climate in one day so I need the assembly to be able to last more than a year. Here is the two I am looking

Any input is appreciated!!
 


The one link is not there but if both are stock lights, they will work just fine.

I've bought at least 5 sets of TYC brand headlights for various grand prix's over the years. Several sets have been on for 4+ years and still look new. The brackets on some can be bouncy, so if the factory plastic brackets are still in great shape just swap the housings over and call it a day.
 
Cheap works for headlights. The fogging up issue was because I would worry about them having a perfect seal. When really the more i vented them , never had them fog up again

also. Some seem to come with a clear coat sprayed on them. It will peel after a year or so. But once it does I power washed the rest off and never had an issue since.

Just wax em when you wax your car and they won't haze either
 
I was also looking at the TYC brand ones. I noticed there was several options for them, I was planning on getting the NSF ones since they are cheaper. Would it be worth it to spend the extra money for the CAPA certified ones? Anyone have experience with them? Also thinking about the Spyder brand.

That's good to know, I've read some reviews on the Spyder stuff and they seem to be less than stellar. I think I am going to purchase the TYC headlights.
 


What about these, they look different anyone has any experience with them?

Read the reviews, you'll see why aftermarket projectors suck balls.

Spyders or those or any others like them have terrible light output. Poor quality projectors and weak bulbs.
