I bought this truck used and it has aftermarket headlights I am fed up with. They look cool but constant issues with electronics and also the housing scratched so easily that it makes the truck look cheap.

Should I replace them with OEM or is there actually a good aftermarket option for headlights?

I personally think OEM quality replacements are the way to go but there are high-end kits (~$700+) available aftermarket that can give you modern stuff like projector lenses and animated signals/DRL strips but a lot of them look really tacky too. I went with TYC stock replacements from RockAuto for my '07 classic (cat eye) and got everything for around $150
