I was reading that they used cheap glue and something else on the older headlight lenses thats why they fall off and they get condensation inside

No difference with replacements.
The worst years for oem headlights are the ones made in 97 and I think 98. I think with the 99 year models, they figured out their screw up and had the fix in place for the 99's and on.

check www.headlightwarehouse.com they offer pretty good prices and good inventory...I've ordered from them twice (two different cars) they come nicely packed and sealed to prevent moisture.

That may be true, but I just wanted to add in that my 2001 OEMs turned to crap. I've got some mint condition used ones (dunno what year) that are waiting to go on after winter ends!
