New Headlights Question

Waspo · 02-27-2015, 03:14 AM

After getting my moisture issue sorted, and paying close attention to my headlights i note that the lens are really quite scratched and dull.

So Have decided to treat the beast to a new set of Eyes. I have Xenons, so my questions is:

1. Is is better to stick with New OEM Pre LCI (As my car is now)
2. Buy New OEM LCI Headlights. (What do i need to do to make them fit and work?)
3. Go aftermarket? (If so where?)

Really appreciate peoples advice, opinions, pitfalls, what to watch out for, as whatever i buy they will not be cheap!!

Thanks

Most detailers can sort out the dull plastic on headlights

After slating afsar for posting in the wrong section, tut tut.

I would definitely get a detailer's advice on whether or not they can clean them up to save you a small fortune.
