New replacement headlights

Has anyone tried either of these? I want to upgrade my headlights as mine are starting to yellow and I would like some better light projection. Both of these look nice from the pictures and the price is not bad either, just curious if it's a waste of time and money. What's everyone think?

Make sure you read the fine print. If you don't like them you may only be able to get a store credit on returns.

Not what you asked about, but have you considered the Sylvania whitelite bulbs. "Silver Stars" I think. Love mine! not as good as full replacements but a big step up IMO.

The first two posted don't look that bad. Only thing I'd be suspect of is the quality for $90. If they are good products, would be a good deal.

The problem with going to Sport headlights is you may need to cut the sheet metal for the second bulb (more an issue for the 98's than the 99+), as well as doing the wiring to get the second bulb in. Atleast these other lights should just bolt in. For $90, I'm almost tempted to try them. But $60 shipping to Canada?

I have the Silver Stars in now, the helped, but now i'm lens's are starting to yellow and look bad...

I agree with you Tate, I don't want to have to re-wire the lights for 4 bulbs either.

I know what you mean......it looks like a good deal for $90 USD until you factor in that rediculous shipping charge......$90 USD will literally turn into $200 CDN when you factor in the exchange and brokerage.

I took my entire headlight assemblely out with some work you can remove the lense, and polish the inside. Glue back together with polyurathane, been working fine for around 1 year.
