stay away from aftermarket headlights, unless you want to replace the rubber on them every year. my aftermarkets had 10,000 miles on them when the rubber surrounding the headlights started to crack and peel. they suck

from what i read/hear about/see, all the aftermarket lights are shitty, and the only option is to modify the originals (whistler)

Might work. I have to disamble the head lights because the lights dont sit right.. they sit way to one side.

I wonder if you use the lubricator that you also use on T-Tops will work
