Default Need a little help.

So I have been searching and haven't really found what I want. I am looking to get new black headlights. The ones I have now leak and I have already taken them apart once and resealed them. So I am wanting to buy a nice set that won't leak. I have checked ebay also and nothing really stands out to me. If you guys have any suggestions that would be great. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of the harley's because of the amber lens on them.

Try looking on stylintrucks.com, they have a good selection of headlights, body kits and all sorts of expensive good looking stuff.

from what ive found (which there is prob more out there) harleys are your best option, for the ones with the clear lens the ones you have are the best option, there might be some out there by hella, or some other company but theyll cost out the *** im sure, all the other ones just about are projectors or angel eyes.....

Buy a set of stockers and paint them up yourself. While your in there you can give the amber reflector a couple of light coats of niteshades. I painted mine on my 05 and never had a leaking problem.

In my opinion this way is the only other option. My headlights leak sometimes too but only after extreme rain in which case ill take them off and let them dry in my bathroom. Paint a set of stockers or stick with what you have because most of the other head lights out there are ugly. Just my 0.02

I don't want to take them apart, its a pain in the ***. I did it once and it took forever to get them apart. If I was gonna take any apart I would take the ones I have now apart. Sounds like I just am gonna have to deal with what I have.

see if you can find a custom shop or something to take them apart for you and reseal them, its worth a shot...... ive heard both side on taking them apart, easy and hard

I was on the easy end I think and it was still a 4hr project.....Didn't bother me though. It gets easier with beer.
