Headlights

Did someone on here say they bought the aftermarket replacement headlights and the visibilty wasn't as good? Worse cut-off maybe? I am trying something and I need new headlights, but the OEM ones are double the cost of aftermarket..

i have the blacked out housings on my 01 from a large seller of housings on the bay
DOT certified- all the mounts matched perfect and the lighting is fine.
Different bulbs make the big changes for you
Kaixen 5000 will give near OE color and white levels
while 6000 will give more blue and pick up road signs and markings better IMO

If your housings are just clouded on the outside- not leaking inside, a bottle of plastic polish and a powerball will make them like new

Already been done. It comes back eventually. (like now)
