wax the light to protect them(or u can wet sand and clear them for uv protection but it still be wise to wax them) also drill a drain hole at the top and bottom of the lense to fix the water in the light problems

modern headlight have corrected the water problem and come eqquiped with drain holes to vent moisture

i was looking at some angel eye foglights and some clear headlights on ebay but now im having trouble deciding cause some people say they are crap. will waxing prevent them from getting all ugly like the stock ones?

yes the wax has uv protectants to keep them from getting sun damaged

also u can wet sand the stock lights to make them clearer just buff them afterwards and wax them for free compared to new lights just depends on how much effort u put into them on how good they will turn out i usually sand them with 1500-2000 but the last set i used 3000 on a d/a sander came out very slick

I plan to get some of those headlights myself. The ones I picked out were a little different, a different variation. But made by the same people.
