Headlight Assemblies
Can anyone tell me the difference between these three headlight assemblies sold by the same person?

Any quality difference? What would you recommend buying?

The first one is chrome, the second one is black. The third one is for AMG (?). I don't think there would be any difference in the headlights of AMG and non AMG but someone with direct knowledge should be able to help you out.
Fishcake (I believe his real name is Simon) will sell the same lights at different prices - at least that's what the situation seemed to be one time I bought a pair. I have gotten two pair from him. One was fine, the second would not adjust. I had them installed by an indy (I won't be going back to him) so I don't know if the problem came from the indy. I understand that if you "over adjust" them, they become unadjustable. The mechanism looks the same as the standard lights but you can only see so much. Simon seemed genuinely concerned but in the end he wasn't able to do much for me. I believe Simon is honest and that this is a rare problem - I'm the only one who's had a problem with them that I know of and several people on the forum have gotten his headlights. Just get the least expensive of the ones for your car. They are really good. Not as good as OEM but then they are a fraction of the price.
