Headlights look like CRAP!!!

[Arctic-Rodz]

I got mine from ebay, were $100 for bumper lights, headlights, and smoked corners. Put a clear silicone seal around all the edges to make sure it didnt leak or let water in.
My old OEM headlights were really dull and it was hard to see at night. Im using Silverstar Ultra's on the new headlights. It looks really good. Maybe later ill do HID's
The new ones are clear with black on the top/bottom inside the housing. Gives the effect of being smoked, withough affecting light output.

I'd be curious. Was tossing this around as my lights are in need of something. I would like the look of something cleaner but not totally wild. Almost stock like but a step above if that makes sense. I'd like to do the top and bottom lights and not sure about the corner lights. Thinking I want to keep those amber but would love something smoother than whats there.

What part numbers and whos stuff are you guys recommending now a days?

The best way to fix your factory lights is to wet sand them first with 400 until you get all of the old hazed plastic off, then work up to 2500 grit, use Meguires Ultimate Compound on a foam pad with an electric drill to polish them up.

Or you can save about 2 hours and just buy aftermarket replacements!

I vote after market, a much better final result. I tried many times to clean mine up...they were in really bad shape. I think brake fluid got on the front of my truck at one point and I never caught it though.

If you do go after market, I would stick with a established company like TYC and avoid the ebay headlights. I am on my second set of ebay lights now and still need to replace them. The lens are yellowed after just over a year and the first set leaked so bad that the headlight filled with water and made my bulb explode.

I have TYC headlights and turn signals.
