buy some ebay ones and take the lenses off and re-seal them before you install them
06-08 "ebay" headlights decent?? or another alternative?

why just because i have owned every headlight there is for a 3rd gen?
1st off, stay away from recon and spyder lights, they are absolute JUNK, now that we got that clear, if you want a good projector headlight go with anzo brand lights, they make a very nice headlight that adjust like oem lights and no other projector offers that ease of use...
if you are just wanting clear corners or a blacked out housing, you can pretty much take your pick of what you see on ebay, the trick to them is make sure the housing is sealed, i will usually run a bead of silicone around the housing just to be safe but its not always needed, the set i have on my 08 the rubber boot actually didnt seat properly so it caused some fogging, once it was seated all was well...
if you have questions about some specific lights just let me know, I have info on em all lol

Here are the anzo brand ones..
They come in chrome or black and you can pick LED halos (dim) or CCFL halos (bright) but you will pay more for ccfl, but they are a very good headlight, ive ran them on every 3rd gen ive owned...
Dim is LED halo and bright is CCFL

These fall into the category of the oem style which includes clears or blacked out housings, just make sure they are sealed, i put a coat of wax on mine once a month and have never had a set peel or fade...

These come in black or chrome, they are a little bit of a pain to adjust, with HIDs once adjusted are decent lights, with halogens they suck

Now spyder or recon lights like these should be outlawed because of how **** poor the quality is, output is absolutely god awful with or without HIDs and require extensive modification to even make them a usable light, they are pretty much only good for being flashy

appreciate all of that, thanks.
I ordered the black ones from my initial link. they were only like $90 when i ordered them so i see it went up some. They claim they purchase them from OEM mfg plant. hard telling
If they turn out to be junk, i'll get my money back. 60 day warranty
I could care less about halogens, or HID's or w/e, i basically just didn't want to shell out the $200 the collision center waned for a used, OEM, SINGLE headlight.
If they look a little cooler....thats a bonus
thanks Demon!
