Headlight questions

My car has to replace passenger's headlight after the collision. My question is can I get a used headlight from ebay or the aftermarket cheap replacement headlight. Do they need to be program to work? The old headlight is completely gone, so the headlight control module has to be replace too.

this is the driver's side for my car. Any help will be appreciated.

CAPA parts are high-quality aftermarket parts. I use them when I need to replace lights, other body parts

there are several different headlights in use on these cars. Need your VIN to determine what headlight you have, and what the correct part number is, before you can replace one. Warning, the active LED headlights are stupid expensive, and I don't believe there are any aftermarket replacements for these.. Also, several things on the car have to be coded for the new headlight.

also matters if you are in the USA vs LHD vs RHD world market. The Capa replacement sunnyslope mentions is only for USA Halogen headlights
