Those are the ones I got I love them. Don't have any pics with them installed yet since it's winter. To the OP whatever you get make sure and seal them up I also use Mothers Synwax on mine since it won't hurt plastic to protect them from peeling and stuff.

probably got a hit by a small rock while driving or something. pitting is caused by anything that makes a small chip in the wheel, so salt would make it worse quicker. however it will just wear and tear from just about anything. try to keep it clean or fill it (idk if that is even possible).

Or instead of tinting the stock ones, AM has pre-tinted ones for like $129 or something. Might just buy them when money comes back around. Idk.

I think the ones off AM will do me just fine. I dont mind paying the extra for the customer service backing the product. Just personal preference though.

BTW guys, are any of you with this dark of headlight housings using the stock headlights??? Any hard time seeing in the dark??? Just wondering for the few weeks i'll have them in without HID's.

One of the guys at AM told me that he tried running the stock bulbs with their smoked housings, and that it really reduced the light output quite a bit.

Well my new 03 cobra foglights are actually brighter than my stock headlights. So ive mainly been relying on them for light here lately. So nothing im not used to. Only a week or so more til i get HID's to put into them and i might just wait and do both installs at the same time.

LOL at stock headlight bulbs in smoked clear corner housing. You pretty much need HID's if your getting smoked corners.. The smoked clear corners really dimmed down my HID's! But nothing major. They are still bright as f*ck lol
