    I just installed my new headlight assemblies, pretty much stock with clear corners, just wondering how to protect them so they don't get yellow/moist!?!

    HERE ARE SOME PICS, not much different, but MUCH better looking in person:

    After (I fixed the gapping after taking the photos):

    They make clear headlight covers. You could also put some clear coat on them. I think there are also transparent films that you can apply, check PFYC.com.

    couldhave just bought clear corners on ebay for 30 bucks. thats 100 bucks for a set + spare corners.

    next time search, search even old threads and ask on the chat. i really feel bad for people overpaying on parts.

    Look into x-pel. It is supposed to help prevent the headlights from hazing.

    3M film works great. doesn't kill light output. and helps them from being pitted as well.
