Re: 7th Gen halo headlights help
I got some dual halo's off of ebay for about the same price, and they hooked up no problems, not super bright but still get praises on them! They came with headlight bulbs, no markers. I love em! Ive gone a whole SALT LAKE CITY UTAH winter with them and not one leak or fog or nothin! Had them for over a year! I love em, makes your whip look super sick! And super easy to install!

Yeah, Gumdrop, very nice job. Looks really good! My all-clear lights were delivered, so I'll be installing them soon (after I seal them, of course).

yeah i was thinkin bout that, future mods will definitely be AEM v2! wheels of course, some darker tint, droppin it and then maybe mirror/doorhandles painted if my mom lets me lol
(by the way, the car is under my parents name so they have a say in what i do, unless i have the cash lol)

not sure about the haze effect but if i had to guess i would say the bulb burning and over time it start to put that haze on there not to mention the weather and climate affecting the outside of the headlight as well, i used a micromesh kit starting with the least grit to the highest and lightly wet sanded the lens' then put a polishing compound that came with the kit on there and they cleaned up pretty well, especially since they're 6 years old. before you ask though, i got the micromesh kit from work so i dunno if an autoparts store would carry them or not
