My original head light lenses were cracked and yellow if you look in my previous pictures you can tell. Instead of buying aftermarket head lights I waited several months of ebay shopping to get the right price I wanted to spend on lights that had cracked mounting points but clear un cracked lenses.
$60 right side
$126 leftside
$4 2000grit sand paper
$5 100% silicone
$10 head light polishing and sealant stuff.
$205 total VS aftermarket
Aftermarket hid headlights from what I hear do not self level like OEM. $420 is the cheapest on Ebay
Non HID $331 cheapest on ebay.
I could have bought the non HID and taken them apart for the lenses.
