new headlights!!!!!!

**99gpse** · 05-28-2009

FINALLY, we got new headlights.. my mom was so happy. we got them off ebay for $75 shipped, complete with brackets wiring harness and new Sylvania bulbs. the wiring harness was on a bit wrong, its suppose to go inside the bracket for the turn signals, but nothing a few seconds cant take care of.

old lights

the lens broke off of this one, so it had a pop bottle for a lens haha

i had to adjust them, the left one was pointing way off to the left.

swap out the ebay brackets for your old ones. they wont bounce

i was wondering about that. but im not going to, one of the adjusters is stripped on the left bracket, and both brackets are broken.. but i might be able to pick up some good OEM ones at the junk yard. these do seem really cheap compared to the OEM ones. these headlights probably arent that great, and will yellow or fog over with time. but we have put 50k miles on this car in a year, it probably only had a couple years left on it.. plus its rusting, so its most likely going to be replaced in the next two years or so.. but these are atleast better than the original lol

I had my new headlights for about two years, and they didn't yellow or fog at all. I used XPel film to protect the outside from dings and scratches. I also UV coated bulbs (supposedly UV from the bulbs can yellow the lenses). I don't know if Sylvania bulbs are UV coated, but most Phillips bulbs I've seen are.

well are you talking about your projectors?? these are just OE replacement, and there are a few different manuf out there. these are "Vision". factory where Guide, and i know there is TYC and a few others that make them.. but TYC i know is VERY low quality. they fog fade and crack after just a few months.. but these seem to be of pretty good quality.
