Headlight upgrades

My 99 headlights are getting very hazy. What kind of luck has everyone had with the eBay headlights. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the newer 02 and up style. Is eBay the best bang? If anyone has any laying around let me know.


Thanks,

it didnt take much scrubbing either. just sprayed a good coat of it on there, let it sit for about 10 seconds and then wiped them clean with a good shop rag. it also worked on my fogs.

I got a set off ebay over a year ago. I think they were around $100 inlcuding the marker lamps and turn signals. The brand was Eagle Eyes. For the money, not too bad. A bit brighter lighting, (my old ones were not that bad however), and so far, being parked outdoors all the time, I see no evidence of any hazing or dulling of the finish.

I bought my Harley Style lights from Head Light Depot on Ebay. It has been 2 years and not problems at all. They look as good as the first day that I put them in too.

When I got my 05 Harley lights from them they even included new lamps and not just the headlight housing. I think that you will be more than happy with your purchase.

That's where mine came from as well. Still look as good as the day I bought them and I think that was before Jim. Mine went in Jan. 2009.

Do you know if the 2005 Harley lights will go onto a 1999 w/o my having to replace a bunch?
