domt buy cheap ebay EF head lights

[Zedjay]

i bought some ebay headlights just before xmas for my EF
because mine were turning yellow(like they do)
but the non genuine cheapie ones melt,

both my headlights are now stuffed,the part
that goes around the inside between the lens and
the reflective bit have both melted down infront of the globes
and they have the stockie type bulbs too.

they mite seem cheap but they are crap.

make sure to have plenty of water....otherwise you'll scratch em to badly..

use a buffing machine with some paint polish (propper paint cutters)
then use a light polish ie maguiars scratch x with the buffer,

they should be as clear as new....

but not all non genuine parts are crap.

anyone know whre to get headlights from then?
Mine are all cloudy, I've tried cleaning them up, but not much better (seems to be cloudy on the inside too)
I've just spent an hour taking the headlight assembly of the car, but couldn't get the plastic lense of the body, so I gave up before I broke them.
When you guys get headlights do you get the whole body or just the clear lense?
If you just get the lense how do you take the old ones off without damaging anything?

Were these cheap ebay headlights bought from promessecommerce?
Just looked at a few and he's selling a pair for $159
