I need new headlights. I just want something that fits the stock headlight holders, nothing fancy. I do NOT want to modify anything, electrical or otherwise (no new relays, no re-wiring, no cutting metal, etc).

I have two different types, but both are sealed. One is a Westinghouse #6012 12v, the other appears to be a GE 7002 12v 60/45W. The GE one is very dim. The other one seems fine, but I thought I'd replace both at the same time.

I searched on this site and need some clarification.

I found these for $54 at Pelican:

These seem like an upgrade that is just plug and play, correct?

Rockauto.com has these for about $5!:

These are sealed ones like I currently have, NOT the original ones that allow for the bulb to be changed. I'm fine with either type.

They have a few other ones priced from $5 to $12. What am I missing? Why are these 1/10 the price?
