For those looking to buy hd headlights, do what I did. Take your stock ones put them in the oven at 250 degrees for ten minutes and pry them apart. Scuff them on the inside and paint them with krylon fusion. Cost me around 6 bucks to have hd lights.

Interesting approach, may look into this. How did you reseal them afterwards? Is there any noticable moisture in the lens now?

I used black rtv silicone... I have 0 moisture in them since i did this mod. The hard part is getting them apart. Have a set of gloves, pocket knife and a screwdriver handy. Heat them up and start prying, cutting and swearing. Then reheat and repeat.

Wow, you just got these lights and now you're selling them and trading the truck for a fusion. Why? Let me guess, gas prices killing you as much as they are me?

What kind of price are you looking for them?

This is why I'm glad I really only drive the truck 14 miles per day. 7 miles to work and 7 back. That is unless the family needs to go somewhere (3 kids, wife & dog) or need to pick stuff up @ Home Depot/Lowes. Otherwise we use the wifes '04 Altima 2.5. Plus using E85 saves me quite a bit too.

Post some pics of the Fusion if/when you get it.

PM sent back.
