I haven't done too much market research but I bought a relatively cheap set and was not very satisfied with the brightness in daylight. I guess price and quality are related also on this topic.
The replacement procedure is simple esp if you have girlie fingers or can bribe/convince a lady or kid to do it for you as the space is quite limited. First time I did this I fiddled around with the lights still in place but the 2nd time I just removed the entire light unit and it was a breeze. Use search function to find plenty of info on this topic.

here is a youtube vid that shows the easiest way in my opinion, its a litte fiddle to change with the lights on, as said earlier you need realy small fingers, the person on the video makes it look easy, but you have to fiddle a little to lose the lighhouse from the car, but dont take the wires out as he does, its not necasary(not written correct i think), you can change it with the wires connected
