Clear headlights.

Where is the cheapest or best place to get the clear Euro style, or diamond cut headlights from. It's about time to get some new lights.

e-Bay is a slam dunk. Do a little research on manufacturers before you bid so you don't buy cheapo garbage.

I've had the clear Euro diamond cut lenses for a couple of years now, and added the upgrade wiring harness at the same time.
The look good...but one thing most folks don't post, is that the high beam suffers.
High beam doesn't seem to give the focus length like the stock headlight does, it just spreads it out more where the non-high beam light shines.
So...if you do alot of night driving, you may very well end up wanting additional lights to get the light to shine further down the highway!

I have seen the parking lenses as well.

I do not notice the beam sufferage you speak of, I use 80/100 Xenon super whites. Really bright but softer than you would think. I also have Hella ff50 tied to the low beams and Dayrunners can be flipped anytime. DO upgrade your harness and add the biggest relays you can afford. Takes lots O power to burn that much wattage!
And I would never run that set up, which is not street legal, on the street....

Where do you guys get the upgraded harness and relays? My original headlights are getting yellow, have cracks in them, and flat out look like crap. Are those headlights from the first link a good quality or cheapos?

You can get lenses here --> Diamond Cut Headlights and the wiring harness here GOSRACING for anyone interested. The wiring harness comes with TWO heavy duty relays (as you can see in the pic) as well as with instructions.

Stroke2k: that is a good looking package on the harness kit!! I am an EE and made mine, my relays are a little bigger but it looks very close to what I did and a lot easier! At that price I could have saved some time and if I were paying for all my parts (fringe benifit) most likely some money!

Thanks 2K, those are some good links.
Sneal, where did you get the 80/100 bulbs? Do people highbeam you all the time?

I do a ton of night driving, I'm a nightshifter. And I'm pretty sick of the stock yellowed headlights.

The lights are bright but they are not yellow, so people do not brite you. And heven help them if they do. High beams are GREAT! If you are running high and low together now you will need to undo that mod and go back to singles, my estimates are that it would burn the wires and melt the headlight housing. LOTS O HEAT
