Default Used or not used??

I'm looking around for used one piece headlights for my 98 A4, but should I just fork out he money and buy new? Would there be any major draw backs to buying them used from someone?

Default Either or....

I can find the ecodes new everywhere, and have found the stock one piece from the 99.5 at a good discount but they have broken tabs..... don't know what to go with ,, either way will be an upgrade from the 2 piece I have now

you can fix the top tabs, but if the bottom mount is broken they're worthless

Default I have several spare headlights sitting around now, but they are all baked and seperated...

I'll figure out what I don't need and make post about spare parts in a week or so.
