Looking to get rid of my factory tail lights as they are getting a bit dull. I was looking at these Quadratec headlights and they look pretty good. I found something pretty similar on Amazon but for a lot less money. Do you guys think I would be better off buying the quadratec set or the amazon set? I know I would have to change the flasher relay after converting to LED's. The upside of the quadratec tail light is that it has reflectors and a plug and play, and comes with the flasher relay. It is simple wiring though so I don't really care about the plug and play. It would still be cheaper for me to get the Amazon tail lights and purchase a flasher relay separately however. So it comes down to whether the Amazon tail light would be good enough quality to last me. Thank you guys in advance.

You don't have to get the flasher relay. I went the route of many before me by taking a razor to the existing relay and it has been working for me. 6 months and no issues.

You mention headlights as well as taillights but I will assume you are talking about taillights with the talk of relays. I have the Quadratec plug and play. I got them because they are much brighter than stock. I am very happy with my decision.

The cheaper ones. You're never going to know the difference.

I went with these 4" round flush lights that should be here in a few days, but they require some modifications at the evap canister on the passenger side.
 
I don’t think the amazon ones you linked have the side markers built in so that is why they are cheaper. They are made for box trucks or flatbeds that have separate side marker bulbs at the corners of the cargo box.

Plug n play is good! I try never to hack the factory wiring. The factory waterproof connectors are very nice.
