non OEM headlights are just garbage. the LED's burn out quickly, and they tend to have moisture in them and they fog up like mad.

best projector headlight you can buy is the 08+ projector, or do a good headlight retrofit.

if you looking for nice looks probably start off with after market projector (with non-hid projector is best to use regular tinted bulb, you'll get more lights then HID), then if you plan to get more lights you can do retrofit, then you'll have both, looks and lights. I would get a second after market projector to retrofit it.
