    So after leaving the car wash yesterday I noticed my driver side headlight plastic cover had detached its self from the housing. Its long gone on the road so I need some new ones! I found some black ones on the bay... Anyone have the black headlights from ebay? Do they fit / work well? TIA Adam

    the black housings rock. i run them. they look so much nicer than stock housings with clear corners.

    use your stock headlight brackets and theyll work out great.

    Use your oem brackets. Why? Well the aftermarket ones have cheap plastic ones that will be prone to breaking and will "shake." Also you may want to go ahead and seal the lights up over the sealer on there just to prevent leaks and ruining the crystal clear lense.

    I was shocked it fell of in the car wash but the funny thing is I have ran the car all week and in the rain with no cover and the bulb is still good now I am going to get some new bulbs to put in the headlights

    Looks bad ass man! Love black! I wish mine was it would look sweet to match my GN. It is white though so my plan is to black out the rest of the car wheels, windows and tail lights. Should look good on a white one.

    QFT, but there is a small plug that can be removed that will vent them...

    I had to do this with both the head and corner on my 40th...
