05+ projectors are the best headlights but are expensive. eBay headlights have poor output but can be modded heavily.

Well since you gave us an eBay link what else should we call them?!
To be politically correct here, your "listed on eBay, but not ebay headlights" < 06-07 OEM rarely listed on ebay, headlights.

They are saying 05+ OEM projectors have the best output. Aftermarket not so much...

If you have $600 to spend then get the OEM 06-07 Projector Headlights if you don't have that much than keep your 03-05 Reflectors until then. Get eyelids and color match them to give your reflectors an aggressive look.

Buying OE '06+ projector headlight is the very best advice we can give you! I've never heard of anyone buying aftermarket $350 to $450 headlights having the same quality as OE! Don't waste your $$...Gary

Yes. New they go for $900-1000 now from dealers. Or trade this guy for your reflectors + $500 > https://g35driver.com/forums/lights/...ts-couple.html Thats a really good deal since OEM reflectors are worth ****.
