Hey guys, I recently got some new euro clear parking lenses and they look super sweet on my truck, but they have really made my yellow headlights look like crap. I don't think there's any way that I'll be able to polish them back into looking good and have decided that I need to get some new ones.

Which route should I go?
Should I get stock replacement lenses or some clear aftermarket ones?


I'm all about quality and don't mind paying a little more for a better product, but they have to perform. Right now, I can barely see at night and I would never sacrifice safety over looks. There's just too much out there for me to comb through and I was hoping you guys had some suggestions.

Oh mani was in the same boat as you for the longest time. I went and bought some oem headlights cuz the originals (from 96') were horrible. Picked up the new ones made by eagle eye for $63 =) all i need is to order my HID's from DDM Tuning and i'll be good. Although you can just pick up some tyc's for a little more money. Just depends on how much you wanna spend.

If you want to polish them up untill you replace them use plastic X. You can find it at any parts store. Its made by Meguiars. My wifes 04 grand prix's yellow in about a month and I use that crap on a rag and it comes out great with very little work. You can use it on a polisher to make it look better or do what I did and strap the polisher to somthing and take the lights out and use the polisher like a polishing wheel. I find foam pads cut better than cloth and give a better finish.

Well, looks like a set of TYC's is in order. I'll post up some new pics as soon as I get them.
