I don't know that there's a right forum to post this on because none of them have to do much with aftermarket like this.......anyway......
My headlight lenses are starting to cloud up and get to where they're inhibiting the lights from being as bright as they could. I've been looking at some aftermarket replacements, but I'm curious if any of y'all have had any experience with any particular brands of aftermarket lenses. OEM new is about $170 per side, and I'm a little leary of buying lenses off of crashed cars (broken/missing brackets, etc).
I do not want the cheesy looking Halo lights, and I don't know that Projector lights would work (do you need to upgrade a wiring harness to accomodate the power drain on those or no?).
Here are 2 that I found on Ebay as ones I kind of like.....
Crystal Diamond
Crystal Black
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

i used to work in an auto body shop for a nissan, jeep, and eagle dealership we also delt in a lot of used cars we had that problem many times what happens over time is the seal or rubber gasket begans to leak moisture into the lens and it cant get it out so when you get your new light to prevent it from happening again i would take a pice of tape put in in the bottem of the light and drill a hole with the smallest bit you can find be gentle dont force the drill it will act as a drain hole for the moisture to evap as your lights heat up.

those are pretty cool... search for your equivalent of these thingies, they're meant to improve the beam pattern but keep the look at or near stock...
as a temporary remedy, plastx by meguiar's might help with the cloudiness...It's not good, very fundamentally simply not good. - geolemon
