My stock lenses were looking real bad lately so I picked up a set of new ones from eBay. Let me know what you think.

Old vs New



Haven't tried them at night yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully I will be able to actually see more than 4 feet in front of the car!

Just age I guess. Probably living inthe south doesn't help with all the big kills on the front of the car that I have to deal with. But lense fade is pretty common with Mustangs.

Much better than the old ones, did you try polishing the old ones?

Looks sweet!

The sun is to blame for the hazing...the sun's heat and rays change the properties of the plastic, which makes the plastic brittle, causing a shift in color. Engineers require a certain level of UV protectant plastics/rubber when designing a car, but Ford seems to be a little laxed in the headlight area.

I just changed out the stock headlights on my car for the 01 style tinted lights - I wonder if the tinted versions offer any more UV protection vs. the clear style?

Sorry to dig this one out of the dead, but I jsut wanted this post to become a consumer warning. I wrote up my experience using the eBay "guild" system. Here is a link if anyone is interested.

http://reviews.ebay.com/Symmic-head...ojector-headlights_W0QQugidZ10000000000720738

Bottom line, DO NOT buy from this eBay seller (symmic). His headlights are complete crap!
