I have ebay ones and I love em, they look great. I've had em about two years and they still look as good as they did the day I got them.

i think its hit and miss with aftermarkets. i LOVE the way mine look on my truck but after all the time spent trying to adjust them its still a waist of time. i can get them to project perfect but they look TERRIBLE in the day time.

yeah, thats the thing that has held me back from doing the crystal headlights.

Every ebay auction, no matter who it is or what it is, its the same picture.

Depends on the kit I guess. The one from 3m is great, various grit standing pads, compounds, and at $20 I wouldn't care if I did have to do it every year. That being said, think I did mine 2 or 3 years ago and they still look like new

Yeah, I understand that.

The biggest deal is the plastic. If its yellowing on the inside or outside.

Mine are yellowed on the inside as well, which makes the kit useless.

best bang for your buck on our headlights is to wire them up right and get all 14 volts going to them instead of the 10-11 they are currently getting.

You'd almost swear some kid in Cambodia designed these things or something the way some of them look or are designed.

I've been meaning to do that. Can build my own, but I'm lazy. LMC has them for $30

jeez, 30 dollars? I shoulda started selling the kits year ago, i'd be rich.

its like 15 dollars in components.
But I think LMC's is mostly a plug and play?

I'm not familiar with the HID kit, does that pull power from the switch or separate 12v source? If it's 'plug and play' where your old bulb was then yes, I would imagine this would make them brighter. Again, I don't know how the HID kit works...

William, yea plug and play. Don't need to cut/splice anything
