Recommend 3rd party headlight assembly

I need to replace the headlights on my wife's '07 maxima. One is cracked from an impact and the other is getting cloudy.

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party company that offers a decent replacement part? I see several companies out there, but I suspect some of their stuff is junk. OEM stuff is too costly for me.

Thanks.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-08-Nissan-Maxima-Halogen-Headlights-Headlamps-Left-Right-Pair-Set-NEW-/130968076014?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3ANissan%7CModel%3AMaxima&hash=item1e7e4e3eee&vxp=mtrbest price for a set I could find. These are NON-HID headlight assemblies without the bulbs. I recommend steering clear of DEPO brand lights. I purchased their led tail lights and got less than 100 hours use before half the leds on each side went out.

I bought aftermarket cornering lamp made by Keystone once, not sure if they are still in business, that was almost 10 years ago.

Be aware that most aftermarket headlights don't use the same projector or bulbs as OEM and have pretty poor light output. Also, the outer lens is not as strong and may crack or yellow even faster than your OEM's did. I would recommend getting a used OEM replacement for the cracked one and giving both a nice polish and protective layer.
