    I need help selecting a brand that is known good on fit and not to leak or crack.

    I need replacement headlights for 2013 Prius V.

    Anyone know a good brand? (there are so many)

    So I am thinking the cost is manageable but I see some that are half the money and look good.

    How do I tell which is a good Brand?

    Here is my favorite from E-bay and then below they are twice that from Rock Auto?

    Here is Rock auto and the top ones look low end and even say "Various Vendors' so how do ensure I get a good brand with good fit that will hopefully last at least 3 or 4 years?

    Depo and TYC would be what I'd go with - best would be OEM housings with a lens replacement but that requires some work.
    I bought a set of the $100 ones on eBay and the rear housings are thin - I ended up just using the lens & doing a quad retrofit so it wasn't a big deal.

    Make sure you PPF the lens, or apply a ceramic coating every year or so to maintain lens clarity.
