I've been entertaining the idea of updating/upgrading my OEM Cibie plastic headlights for a set of crystal clear GLASS headlights. Yesterday I was browsing Ebay to see what they were going for and saw some very affordable ones. Now I'm set on getting a pair--but which brand? FCP has a set going for $330 (after s/h charges). For that price it must be a perfect fit and of good quality. However, there is another place, Import Motorsports, that has a glass set for $180 after s/h charges have been added. They advertise it as perfect fit blah blah too. The brand is DEPO. Has anyone bought a set from this Ebayer?

What say you guys about glass headlights? Are they worth the extra bucks? I know the ones on Ebay are all aftermarket, so I'm very interested about fit and finish. There is this other place that sells aftermarket PLASTIC headlights (made in Europe) for $132 (after s/h charges). The lens in the picture look almost like glass--that's how clear they look. They come with a pair of "backing plate." Does my car have them, and if so can I reuse them for the new glass headlights?
