i have a 03 sedan and the OEM HID headlight cover looks foggy and old, im thinking ab getting a new headlight housing.

have anyone bought the JDM headlight on ebay before? If yes, how is it?

any suggestion on replacing OEM headlight?

 

The ones on ebay are not HID, they are Halogen. (unless they say HID...they will also cost alot more) thats why they are so cheap (~150 for a set). You can re-use the lenses by baking them in the oven, removing the lenses, do the same with you OEM ones and then just swap out the lenses. Bake again to re-seal.

I will be doing (more helping) this on Sunday. Also paiting the bezels black and maybe another suprise.

There are some on eBay that I have read are pretty bad when it comes to quality and fitment.

 

i see, thx for sharing.

can you be more specific on the oven thing? like how long what degree?

 

No problem.

From the research I've done, the method to use is

heat up to 350
turn off
bake for 10 minutes

Pry the lenses off from there. I haven't done this myself yet. I can post up what was all done after this Sunday. Also do a search for "headlights" and you should come up with some other threads on the topic.

 

Or use a heat gun which would be a lot safer IMO

 

Or you can just go to kragen or some auto store to buy meguairs plastic X plastic cleaner, it does a great job.

 

I second the Meguair's products. A guy here did mine and it made a huge difference.

 

Some of the 03s (mine included) are beyond the over the shelf products. I even went as far as to do a sand and polish on my headlights and I still can't get that original shine back or the cloudyness away.

Def try the products though if you haven't tried them before.

Thanks Perry

 

Chris... I look forward to working on your lights Sunday.

 

Giacomo....Steve's got some new plans for my headlights....I'm so freakin excited I can't wait Its Christmas early for me

 

JDM, huh? that's funny...

 

If they are just foggy use 3M or eq brand plastic cleaner and polish to bring them back to a nice clear shine. Then use 3M clear bra covers on the lights so it never comes back!
