A friend of mine has a 98 GT where the passenger side lamp is yellow like you said. He used some kind of solution to make it clear. It would yellow up again but then just spray the solution. I can't remember what it was, but if somebody knows what I'm talking about please chime in and update me. Sean, you could have got some OEM lense for the light and replaced that? But then again you are upgrading to halogen, either route works.

my buddy did all that to his lights and it worked like a dream. down where I live off the gulf coast all of our beaches have really fine white sand almost looks like snow and it blows everywhere like snow too, and doesnt really agree with plastic headlights either, especially when you are doing 60+ miles an hour, and after my buddy did hat to his lights he hasnt had to touch them for over 2 years.

RE: Did I waste my money?
Ok, well I have been calling the shop all day trying to find out if they had the lights yet, and each time they say, "UPS isn't here, call back in an hour" Well, finnally after my 5th or 6th call they tell me that they called the factory where they ordered it from and were told that they aren't even getting shipped out until tomorrow and won't arrive until thursday...
