New headlights!

Been busy this morning. Got in new headlights off of ebay (black housing OEM style). the brackets they came with were super flimsy so I switch the light pods over to the stock brackets and thankfully they bolted right in and I didn't have to adjust the headlights because of this. anyway, threads like these are useless without pics so.....

To Start with...

The high/low beam pods were just about shot and the chrome plating in the signal pods was flaking out...

Overall I am very pleased with they way they look and the light output is right on par with the stock lights. I'm currently using Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs and might go to HIDs later on.
 


how did they get so bad?

12 years of sunlight, elements, and crappy GM plastic.

I wet sanded mine last summer back to clear, really helped out, but they are starting to get foggy again. Sux but thats just how it goes sometimes. Need to invest in a pair of these. Nice to know the new ones use the stock brackets. Look amazing too. :th_thumb-up:
 
I have the black crystal headlights also.... I LOVE the look... Just a heads up, I would wipe some clear silicon on the seal to keep them from leaking...

These aren't the black crystal headlights from PFYC. those have the orange reflector in the side pods, and they're about twice what I paid for these.
