Why are you taking chances with Chinese knock-offs when European eBay and other European internet sites are full of used OEM lights for your car almost at the same price as knock-offs? Or you have your mind set on replacement headlights?

Here is the example out of Germany:

At least you can chase the European sellers if the lights are off or something. I'd not trust the knock-offs as there is absolutely no guarantee how long the LED's will last (tend to live very short life in most cases).

I'm forced to look for a replacement headlight due to the broken light tube, but since I live in Canada I must obtain a North American adaptive LED headlight and not Euro Spec unfortunately. So, my options are very limited compared to yours.
