Hello I'm looking for advice in aftermarket headlights to do a projector retro fit.

Are there any quality replacements units out there?

Nothing is going to perform like OEM so I’d buy a cheap set off one of the vendor sites or EBay. The biggest problem with aftermarket sets is they need to be resealed. If you’re doing a retrofit you’ll be resealing them anyway.

I believe the LMR headlights are decent for the money.

My issue with all the aftermarket pieces is the crappy seal they use. The ford piece fit perfectly around the fender opening where aftermarket usually bulges a little.

+1 to what everyone has said above.

Also budget some money to have PPF applied over the lenses. That will keep the plastic/clear on the aftermarket lenses (usually a lower quality) looking new.
