Is this legit?

Looking for an OEM front right headlight, this looks like a very good price: https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/740...7E4aAvbl8P8HAQ

The website claims it's OEM, but is that really legit?

Also they have a genuine part for $484, and aftermarket for $264. Makes you wonder what the difference between OEM and genuine is.
EDIT: Here is the answer to the question above: https://www.eeuroparts.com/blog/380/...m-aftermarket/
They claim OEM is from the same manufacturer as genuine, and just the box it comes in is different.

Valeo is OEM. Halgen housings are not expensive. Price is good.
