Re: Replacement Headlight Assembly ?

I am just looking into the quality of the headlight assembly (housing). Not the bulbs.

Re: Replacement Headlight Assembly ?

oh i was talking about the main reflector, not the bulbs. the reflector design is poor and doesnt light up the road as well. but physically, if you want to know about exterior looks, the chrome is not as smooth as oem, and the two amber corner lenses are not the same shade of orange. also some of the bulb sockets were loose and i had to add an extra rubber ring. but otherwise they fit well and look okay.
