as u can see by the front pic of my car in my avatar or in post ur ride, the left headlight is new, and the right one is 12 years old, is there any way i can actually clean the inside of the headlight to make it look sparkly new again?

well i am going to a magna wreckers soon to get a new mirror and door moulds so when im there, why not mightas well look for a set, but only if there in good nice + i dont want to be paying an arm and a leg for em either, anyone know how much there gonna be setting me back?
the prices for them are so random, people found them for 120, others 300- some how my brother got them dirt cheap from the wreckers (dont kno who tho), think he picked it up for like 80-100 dollars :confused:

if you look in my profile, both my headlights are pretty bad, how much are normal replacements?
u might find them cheapish at www.ozeparts.com.au for about $125ea
but u'll find that the KS verada parabolics are $330ea at ozeparts

yeah thats a big NO THANKS on payin 300> for headlights...each
but a set of replacement TS lights for about 200, i like :D not entirley neccesary for me just yet though, possibly later on when i get around to colour coding my bumpers and grille
u could search ur local wreckers if they got any around the shop, or check out ebay, they had a few selling a couple months ago
