Re: Replacing 2001 Headlights - OEM or aftermarket?
did you have to adjust your left/right aim? cause at around 25ft, the two beams (blobs actually) would move to the middle and overlap instead of keep going straight like they supposed to. i finally fixed it but the aiming screws were resisting me lol. those lights feel like theyre about to fall apart inside. i priced out a new pair of oem lights on majestic and it came to 356 shipped. not bad but for now i can make do with the ebay lights. hopefully the philips xp bulbs will make them a bit brighter. there are so many hotspots and dark spots tho. oh yeah and on the ebay lights, one of the amber pieces is a slightly different shade than the other.

Re: Replacing 2001 Headlights - OEM or aftermarket?
I did have to adjust the left/right alignment, yes, but mine weren't blobbing together so much as they were both skewed too far to the right. Luckily for me, my adjusters were pretty cooperative I also note some hot/dark spots, but they're not too bad now that I'm used to them.
For reference, I rented a Pontiac G6 (not by choice) in Michigan over the Christmas holiday, and THOSE were some dim lights...especially driving in snow.
Re: Replacing 2001 Headlights - OEM or aftermarket?
yeah those projectors suck both the sonar and tyc versions leaked a ton on me. those blacked out oems look so good! thats the best way to black out by leaving under the amber piece chrome. i was thinking about doing my ebay lights like that this summer maybe with semi flat black.

Re: Replacing 2001 Headlights - OEM or aftermarket?
I bought these JDM lights on e-bay. I put them in in about 30 minutes. I also have my HID lights in these as well, and they light up so much better, with the lens being prefectly clean and clear
Re: Replacing 2001 Headlights - OEM or aftermarket?
ive tried both oem and aftermarket and the aftermarket seems to have a brighter beam that goes farther and looks whiter using the same bulb. the oem has a smoother beam without hotspots but its not as bright or white. i prefer the oem i guess since its smoother, but i was able to see a bit better with aftermarket.
