Default projector headlights

am I missing something?

$300 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33716

$270 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6755

$168 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33710

besides the not-so-good feedback, why are the 3rd pair over $100 less than the others? They look like the same thing?

Do factory bulbs fit in these?

I wouldn't trust them. They seem cheap.

Well the first two say they fit Sierra models but the one thats $168 only says it will fit Denali. Well I think but Im not sure that the last one is sort of like mine but except mine has the orange reflector and mine also only has two plugs which are the high and low beam bulbs. And I believe that the Actual Denali projectors have another harness at the bottom that somehow plugs into the low beam since the low beam on Sierra's is 9006 and Denali's is 9005, I think thats the difference but Im not completely sure I had to make mine fit by chipping off some of the plastic pieces on the inside of the 9005 bulb to make them fit on a 9006 socket but I have been thinking about changing the socket to a 9005 for my low beam. I hope this helps.

Are you missing something?
They aren't OEM. When it comes to headlamps/clear corners/etc. I've found the aftermarket stuff to be cheap ****. My bro and sis have NBS GM trucks too and we've had different brands of clear corners, bulbs, etc.
Aftermarket=****
I've seen a couple guys with Denali projectors take the orange reflector out, there was a thread on gmfullsize.com about it (they think I'm banned...lol )

i had a set of apc projectors on my old 92 silverado and they didnt fit at all and you could barley see at night. those sylvania ones are bad ***, the actually use less energy then stock headlights use to. expensive but costs to have the right stuff. my buddie removed the orange to took him forever.

I agree, cant beat oem. But anything that fits a sierra will fit a denali. Plain and simple. I got a 4.3 v6 denali sportside. The stuff just popped on. I'm not surprised someone bought them for 168. I bought my rims for 300.
