Nice Job. You are right about trying to find the Ivory Pearl/Graphite combo. I ordered mine new from the factory because there were none to be found at the dealerships. Good luck and enjoy.

5/1/11

I used Turtle headlight restore kit, from Walmart $8.

Not the best pictures (taken on different days and such) but it gives you an idea. I noticed a very big difference; they were much clearer afterwards. I was able to remove alot of the oxidation/yellowing on the surface of the lights.

Now to find a way to clear up the clearance strip..





On a side note, ooo...

I put those in my front clearance lights. Direct plug and play replacement, costs $3 and looks 100% better than stock.

Edit: if I were to do it again I would try to find a US seller. This ultra-cheap japanese drop ship stuff always takes forever to ship.

They're all the same car. And only the first picture is no drop.

And I have no idea what his specs are, other then 19x9.5 and 19x10.5
