Anyone have any of these aftermarket headlight brands?
Which manufacture would you say is best as far as quality and construction? Eagle Eyes, Depo or TYC, and why. Whats the difference in the brands. How long have you had them and are there any signs of condensation/moisture?

i just got the ones off of custom maxima that are like 20 bucks, they look amazing. extremely white with a hint of blue and they are lifetime guarenteed...i took pictures but they dont do them justice and dont have them uploaded to anywhere. i recommend though

i'm sure they'll look just like OEM, with a little less quality
moisture and all would just depend on how well they're sealed, if you save quite a bit of cash going non-OEM just go over the seals with some epoxy before you put them on the car

i had aftermarket TYC headlights, worked great, but i wasnt sure if the beam pattern was the same as the OEM, they were the clear ones like the ones on the 97-99 model maxima.

depo and tyc are good for the money but the quality is not like OEM. i have tyc on the 96 and the beam pattern is different, not sure if its really better or worse. the reflector just looks to be much cheaper. they have been one the car for quite some time, with no yellowing or massive pitting. my only gripe is one of the nipples on the lense fell off.

I know of them but have never seen "eagle eyes". I have, however, seen both TCY and DEPO on the same maxima. The both seem to be the same quality, just some of the details are differnt (such as screws, shield design, brackets). Judging by the beam pattern of TYC vs OEM I'd stick with OEM. Koito is just plain awesome. $40 for one light is pretty good, and if you find OEM you can sell that TYC and get your money back easy.
