headlights

[gordster1122]

is there a difference from oem to aftermarket in the beam pattern I have some ones I ordered off ebay 2 years ago and put them back in the car with the halogen bulbs and notice the beam pattern on the road is horrible if so I was going to go to get another set of oem headlights or order some I have to redo my retro's soon (install new halos , reaim ) and have to put stocks back in ?

Were the headlights you ordered supposed to be OEM replacements, or did you order something else like spyders?

OEM Replacments think I paid around $90 for them 2 yrs ago

All of the aftermarket headlight housings suck... HID's in stock housings can be done, you have to mod the socket holder so the center of the filament is the same as the stock bulbs and the light pattern will be just as bad, but brighter : ). The only option for a better light pattern is doing a retrofit. Spyder's and all the others are a waste of $ in my opinion. I run NEW (not new now) stock housings with HID's.

Yes, the stock lights suck in these cars. Don't waste time with the bulbs, they don't help.

Retros are the ONLY way to improve light for us.....
