Any recommendations on 6 piece headlights. Looking at Cristal clear or a light smoked.
What are the flea bay ones like. Just want to tidy front of mine up. Shipping via a container to U.K. So return is not an option really.

I'm four eyed all over, but I like Jeff's lights. @TOOLOW91

Maybe he can help out.

Just about all the major companies source the lights from the same manufacture. Just have to make sure you go over the seams with clear silicone to ensure no moisture gets in. I am partial to the smoked ones. You cannot get them anymore without the amber reflector unfortunately. I have a spare set horded away if i ever buy another car .

I have the same lights as Jeff. I like the ultra smoked the best, but after three sets being junk within a year, I had to try something different.

I've got the same lights as toolow. They look great and I'm just not a fan of the 1-piece lights they have now.

I actually just ordered a set of stock oem 6-PC lights from late model resto. Kinda been craving the OEM look.

Thanks for the advice guys, the one piece ones look a bit "import" for me too.

As mentioned , stay away from the Ebay Chinese made crap. They fit poorly and leak. Also the one piece imo are too rice and have aligmnent issues. I put a set of replacement stock units with clear corners on my car from LMR a few years ago but I think I'd get a set of the smoked ones Jeff had if I knew I could get them and the night visibility wasnt diminished.

I went with the clear chrome style, thought they had a bit of a modern look to them and I didn't wanna deal with issues at night, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not gonna some day get me some smoked one's.

The car on the right used to be mine and the lights I bought were complete crap. They'd fill up with water until I finally took them apart and sealed them. Then, the inner lens started to yellow. I want to say they were only 5 years old and I bought them from Ebay.

The car on the left, I just bought OEM style from LMR and haven't had any issues with it for ~3 years.

Man good timing here. I have some of those clear like Jersey Joe has. Really want to get the smoked regular with clear corners (since I now know you can't get the amber corners).

Anybody have any pics of an LX with smoked light with Dark Titanium or other silver?

This is mine currently: ve a
