aftermarket headlight assembly

I got moisture in my Left side headlight. This happened pretty quick. I did not notice I had moisture in it until it stopped working. The bulb will still flicker when you turn it on but then stays out. I read about taking it all apart and cleaning the lense but it sounds like a lot of work and I saw some people had problems doing it. I see on ebay they have replacement headlight assemblies for $80 and up. Does anyone know if they are quality replacement parts or if I should stay away from them. I am not super particular about my car only having super top-of-the-line parts only, I just want to make sure I have a quality replacement that looks and works fine. Are there any other good places to buy the assembly (or housing, whatever you wanna call it) from?

ebay sells the depo lights, their good lights. but since nothing is wrong with your housing just search for "clearing headlights" and that will take u step by step on how to take it out and put it back. took me 45min to clear both my headlights.
just do it all and clean out the housing instead clearing them, then buy new bulbs. exelerate gots some for $135 (give or take a couple dollars) shipped for both

Something is wrong with the housing though because it has a ton of moisture on the inside which probably led to the bulb burning out. Cleaning it sounds like a lot of work if a new headlight housing is only $80. I was just trying to find out if they are cheap knock offs or if they are a decent replacement.
