So I needed a new passenger side headlight for my polo 6R. I bought the new OE quality headlamp from eBay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Polo-6R-2 ... 1486768873) because it would arrive quicker than the Valeo headlamp. Currently I have the Valeo headlamp installed but the OE one has the same part number 6R2941015E.
The Valeo one is this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VALEO-Headli ... 1644382444
Is the Valeo (branded) one better or are they both the same? I only bought the OE quality one as it was expected to arrive quicker than the Valeo one as I need the headlight next week.
Valeo or OE?

Valeo and Hella are both OEM for these headlights.

The quality is a bit hard to judge from a computer screen, but I'd personally get the Valeo, yes.

Re: Valeo or OE?
The quality is based off the quality of the internals, Valeo make the halogens for the polo and I think Hella tend make the xenon / leds, both good brands regardless.
However you've purchased a chinese copy which won't perform as well as the Valeo they're virtually the same price so might as get the real one
