Default Need advice on headlights

Got in a wreck and 1 headlight is destroyed. My other headlight is mulderized, and if you look closely you can see micro cracks in it. It's a decade old.

Anyway, I can try to get a new Honda headlight and mulderize it, but I fear it'll never match right. And the Honda part is pretty expensive.

So, I'm looking at aftermarket headlights. Any advice on what to get?

And if I do get aftermarket headlights what other pieces will I need to make it work? Bulbs, ballast, etc?

I salvaged the original ballast. I assume it still works; the wires are severed, but I'm handy with a soldering iron.

I think some people on here bought these headlights when EZ motoring was a vendor on here. I think they swapped over the OEM projectors to these and were fairly happy with them.

If you can find a used set I would still go with that but if you can't then this might be an option.

Good to know! I'm now trying to get an AP2 set if the price is right. Did that $250 price include ballasts, bulbs, and everything needed for plug n play?

I like them! I'll have to source the ballast, ignitors, bulbs, and any wiring required to make it work. Might get expensive in a hurry.
