Default Aftermarket Projectors....good, bad, or "eh"

I realize anything from ebay comes with a "buyer beware" stigma but i attempted to install some angel eyes months back and was unsuccesful. i busted a couple and have been too lazy to buy and install another set into my other headlight. i managed to do the driver side. anyway...ive heard mixed reviews from people about the aftermarket headlamps with the halos. i know the little LED's on top stop functioning almost immediately. from what i hear moisture is a big issue and the best fix is to take em apart and re-seal them and it takes care of the problem. my deal i dont want one halo off and the rest work or vice-versa. what does everyone think?

i was thinking about maybe these.
