It's been a while since I've done any modding on a car (mostly been into bikes for the past few years) and I'd like to do a few little things to my "new to me" Accord. I really don't want to end up with a "riced out" car; so if you see me headling that direction please stop me. :D

Anyway, I love the look the of headlights with black inner housing; like the ones in the links below. Before I buy them I just want to know; are these the usual leaky, prone to fogging, easily damaged, crap lights usually found on ebay or are they decent?

I don't know about the quality, but if you are really worried about that then just steer clear of ebay in general. You can get lights like that from a number of more legitimate online retailers.

the lens cover starts peeling after a while.

I used to have black Depo headlights on my F-150, but they started leaking water. Just the other day I was reading on the F-150 forum that some other guys who've had the same lights for about 2 years now, their outer lens cover (film?) is peeling. So I guess you can say their quality isn't the best.

Depo = crap

You get what you pay for. I know many people who got burned with Depos, they leak, fog, the adjusters break easily, and on some the light pattern is horrible, but hey they look cool...
