Just a disclaimer, ebay can be a steal for headlights, or a mistake. i bought some this summer and this weekend the corner light came out on a turn, the mounts just broke off. They fitted like crap anyway. I went with a new one piece pair from mr bodykit.

Do you really have to spend thousands of $$ on HID's?

Anyone tried this kit from AM?

i dont think anyone here has spent even close to thousands on hip. Im sure the American muscle kit is quality stuff, but hids can even be had for around 100 if you shop around enough

I noticed you guys talking about sealing the lights. what do you mean? i just bought a pair off ebay about 3 weeks ago with the blue Xenon lights. they look awesome and they are bright on the road as well. my car has never seen the rain yet so i was wondering what you mean by sealing and what is the process. Curious....thanks in advance

go to american muscles website and look up headlights. At the bottom you will see how to video's on sealing the headlight. What they are referring to is using RTV silicone to seal the light so condensation doesnt build up.

i think H.I.Ds would be the best bet if your getting smoked headlight. actually you cant even call that smoked that ****s black man. i dont think the halogen would be bright enough if hes driving @ night in the rain...thats the reason i bought hid i ended up tintin my lights a lil bit to dim down the light too haha

while we are on headlights, is there anyway to pull out the amber reflectors in a 2001 model factory headlight?
