Opinions? Aftermarket 1968 4-4-2 Headlight Housings

If anyone has any opinions to share, regarding the aftermarket plastic headlight housings from OPGI, et.al., I'm all ears. I don't need them right away, but, hey! On Sale, is On Sale!

Compare that price to this listing where all the trim pieces (bezels and eyebrows) are included for $700.

They are probably a Fusick product. I used a set in a car and the only issue I remember is,one of the mounting stud boss was too short. I had to use a 1/2" nylon spacer to make up the difference. This was a few years ago,so not sure if they are the same or not.

Same for me. I bought from Fusick back in 2007 and one of the studs was short. No big deal in filling it in with a nylon with a nylon spacer and they were pretty nice, in my opinion.
