Default Headlights and corners

Does anyone have these ebay stock style headlights or corners? Any good? Pics with those style clears on?

I also need to figure out how to install them if I get them.

I like stock style headlights, mine are faded, and you can't beat stock style corners but clear... never thought I would find them. They're perfect!

Thanks!

Hey David, the clear corners are a nice look ... but how bad are your stock headlights? do ya think you could restore em? there's kits you can buy cheaper than the headlights on e-bay ($20) to do so or some household products you can use to do it too! what do you have to lose buy giving it a shot if you were gonna buy new ones anyway? Some 0000 steel wool and some 2000 grit sand paper and a good buffing with some rubbing compound would give em an out of the box look! Also Crest Pro-Health tooth paste works wonders on buffing things to a shine haha if ya don't have some try it! and then you can use the rest of the tube on yer teeth

Mine aren't terrible, they could be better with some work, instead of spending the money on replicas. I've used plastx on them but no wet sanding yet.

I just like the corners I posted because they look so stock, yet they're clear. I do about no night driving at all so it's not a big problem.
