first two are rice, second set is nice. I have the last set, the side markers are clear with a black background and I had to get the sylvania silverstars to get decent light. The main housing seals well with the silicone, the markers show the silicone, I'll see if I have pics

I would go for the third set, the last set is what I have. I forgot to add the Ontario in the listing location is really Canada which mine came from, took three weeks. Once again the mains sealed great, but the markers came out looking ****ty from silicone. I would not recommend anything less than Silverstars, and I still dont like the lighting I get. Cant notice it unless its completely dark, and the highs are the blue tint. Then again it was way better than the stock lights from 98 lol.



Dont mind the body, it was before paint. All the goodies were insurance from a deer strike. Should have kept the 10 pointer though

Just get the third ones and be happy with minimal issues and get yourself HID's.

mine didnt fog, but you can clearly see the silicone on the markers.

here are some more.

i dont have any of the lights themselves shining down the road, but the projectors didnt shine enough to the left or right so turns were kinda blind sometimes, and like i said, the aiming just doesnt work.

yea u can use the oven trick, i used a heat gun because those style of lights only had silicon every like 6 inches, so i just hit that spot, pulled it apart, went to the next one. and i used just regular silicone, you'll never be able to tell the difference really. but clear probably would look better i guess

I used clear silicone, think it was a 3M brand or something. No heat, just followed the seams with a 1/16-1/8in bead.
