I went ahead and ordered the oem lights that my car came with from a junkyard. They look mechanically correct but with heavy yellowing on the lens (which brought the price down to something I’m willing to pay). They won’t get here in time for me to install them, so it will be late June before I can get this resolved.
When I first joined this forum, one of the things I first noticed was that it seemed like half the threads were about headlight upgrades. Sorry to have joined the pack. After way more research about headlights than I ever wanted, I’ve figured out that I own 4 headlights, and none of them are oem to the car. That explains a lot of the questions I had. I can’t believe how most of the aftermarket for LIGHTS doesn’t have all the LIGHTS that an oem headlight does. I understand I’m not getting full quality, but damn, at least include all the freakin lights.
No word from the shop. My desire to fight has died down since deciding to get the right lights on the car anyway. So now I wait until June to find out how the lights I ordered today fail me. Yeah!
