vs
Headlights EAGLE EYES or OEM Volvo
Reviews
I had a 2014 ST1 and I got a pair of those Eagle Eye headlights from ebay for $300. Ran them for over 100K miles before I sold it. The LED's never burned out and the only water ingress issue I had was because I baked and separated the housing to black out the reflectors and screwed up the plastic so it didn't seal right again after that. I will say they got foggy after like 4-5 years but I just sanded and re-cleared them and they were good as new again
Pros: LED's never burned out
Cons: got foggy after years

Ford Focus

Buy a used headlight using the part number that you can find on the headlight (under the bonnet, remove plastic cover that sits above the headlight). In Europe you can get full LED adaptive headlights for 300-350 EUR used. No programming necessary after installation.
Pros: No programming necessary
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
If I remember, the Eagle Eye headlights were a solid oem replacement.
Pros: solid oem replacement
They are pretty good for the price, especially on a normal-ish car like a Camry.
Pros: good for price
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
That said, I have used eBay headlight before, specifically the brand Eagle Eyes (for my daily Camry, not Taco). Things to be concerned about is mainly the lens to housing seal. A lot of cheaper lights will allow condensation to get inside the lenses. Quick fix though.
Pros: quick fix available
Cons: condensation inside lenses
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Don't buy Eagle Eyes. I have used them for other vehicles, but on my GMT800 they broke on the mounting pin holes within a year.
I replaced with Akkon brand in 2019 and they are still trucking, seem to be good quality.
Pros: good quality, still trucking
Cons: broke on mounting pin holes
They are the best of the aftermarket in my experience. That said they tend to fail with condensation after a year or so.
Pros: best aftermarket
Cons: condensation failure
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
Cons: headlights don't turn
Vehicle:
Volvo
I bought some “eagle eyes” brand lights on eBay that look SO CLOSE to OEM, $250 for the pair. They’re crap. And turning the screws won’t even adjust them. They’re literal crap. They point at the ground and I can’t even see more than twenty feet in front of me at night.
Cons: crap, won't adjust
Volvo S40 Headlights are not bright - I have recently changed them and its still not much better.
Cons: not bright, not much better
Vehicle:
Volvo S40
