    Us 04/05 owners have complained about no after market lights for a long time. Reason we complain is many of us suffer yellowing lens pretty bad. I've sanded mine and they look great but it's a matter of time before it yellows again. Plus I've got stress cracks from rocks and crap hitting my headlights.

    FUGLY! Too bad these covers won't fit USDM from what I can see. I have seen them sell for $150 a pair and would pay that to get the clear covers.

    I think the covers would fit? Replacement fronts was immediately my first thought when I saw these a couple months ago.

    But yeah, they look like a pile of turd.

    What about that parking light bubble that's not there Alex? In the top corner where the light curves?

    Disgusting. Bugeyes have the same problem with yellowing I've seen some 06/07s do the same. Must just be cheap plastic

    didn't see that. But I am tempted to try and make it work regardless.

    The plastic may be cheap, but the uv coating is poor. Couple that w the fact that people use windex on them and you have a problemo.

    Alex I don't think you can make it work. Maybe you can....you are the headlight wizard!

    But looking at the bubble on my lights, it's all built into the inside housing and sits very close to the lens. I'll have to look harder when I take my lights apart to reseal them.

    Alex correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the cutoff horrible on these and is showing bad glare? This is with HID's in them.
