Need LH headlamp/corner lamp; aftermarket OK?

We just picked up our '96 Avalon XLS today. It's in great shape except for a few cosmetic issues...such as a crunched LH corner lamp and a "cloudy" headlamp which I want to take care of ASAP. I spotted these aftermarket items on Ebay; does anybody know if they're good quality or should I look for someone parting an Avalon locally so I can stick with OEM parts?

According to the guys on the Candlepower forums (auto section) aftermarket lights are really poor vs. oem. I'm not sure if the cornerlights would be as much of an issue, however, I bought a used OEM cornerlight off Ebay for $18, to replace a cracked one. It looked better than my other cornerlight.

There recommendation is to find a used headlight, or polish yours. The Doublehorn kit seems to get the most recommendations.

Here is a thread discussing headlight polishing.
