Magneti Marelli Headlights for facelift ???

What's up guys, I'm getting ready to start my facelift and have started putting the parts together. As you know, the most expensive parts are the headlights! An eBay seller by the name of 'start245' periodically offers the bi-xenon SL63 lights for the best price I've found, around $1,500 for the set. However, the brand is Magneti Marelli who he claims is a OEM quality manufacturer of aftermarket parts. Their presence is large on the net and they are in many countries and mostly all the major online parts distributers (Partstrain etc.) Sell these units as'OEM'. Any insight on these lights? And who is the OEM manufacturer for Mercedes that produces these lights?
