[T3] T[3] E-code headlamps


I have question on the E-code  7 inch headlamps. , this is
to convert my sealed beams to the H-4 based bulb system
with E-code lenses.

I have been looking for these fo a while since I drive to lots of
places during no light hours. I need better lighting than what I have 
(AMERICAN DOT),
these were my findings:

IPF AMERICAN MADE 31.00 EA OR 62.00/PAIR
CIBIE FRENCH MADE ? 56.00 EACH
NEOLITE MADE IN INDIA 20.00 EACH
AUTOPAL MADE IN INDIA 30.00
BOSCH GERMAN MADE 89 BUCKS
HELLA GERMAN MADE 36.00 BUCKS
LIGHT GLOW (PLASTIC) MADE IN TAIWAN 20.00 EA
ACA AMERICAN BRAND BUT MADE IN TAIWAN 31.00 EACH

-WAGNER OF BRAZIL 24.00 BUCKS, VERY HIGH QUALITY 
BUT CAN'T FIND VENDOR, these I really wanted , looked
like cut crystal.

-SOME POLISH BRAND THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE (WAS VERY GOOD QUALITY)
AT JC WHITNEY FOR THEIR LEADED CRYSTAL E-CODE LAMPS,
NEW POLISH BRAND TOOK OVER PREVIOUS COMPANY
AND STARTED PUTTING OUT JUNK (LOWER QUALITY) 


My question is :

what can you guys say about each one of these? I had people complain about
Hella quality . I heard raves about American made IPF as better than
anything
out there and also I heard that the Indian made headlamps were of Hella and
Bosch
quality or better. Cibie was the best hands down...You guys all over the
world, tell
me your experience on the lights. I am looking for the best not just the
ones that
are the "correct" brand for my car. These inputs should help us all on the
best
quality lighting. I think I research too much on everything and get confused

when too much data is presented. Also does the city lights really interfer
greatly with the beam pattern ? That is what I heard, it  but from a seller
of non-city
lite featured conversion item.

Please answer, I am ready to purchase the IPF ones, but the raves were from 
the sellers. Good quality Indian ones look good also and way cheaper.
