they are all terrible but great candidates for a "real" projector swap. I just did a writeup for a projector swap into the reflector version of those lights and i think i am going to be doing a couple of retrofits into those for a few members here as soon as that gets going and i get one done i'll do a writeup for those lights

Ebay projectors are awful. Here are your choices for headlights:

1) 5.5gen headlight conversion - best bang for the buck, very DIY
2) Retrofit projectors into ebay headlights - Arguably the best light output, I would say experience may be required to accomplish this task
3) HID kit for standard headlights - Easiest and most affordable way to get HID's
4) Upgrade stock H4 bulbs - Self explanatory
5) Retrofit projectors into stock 5th gen housing - Most people will not go this route but if done properly with time and patience can look very nice
