No more cateracks! Ever since I got the car, one of the top things on the list were getting new headlights. After probably having the worst set on the board (not something I want to be known for lol), Im happy to announce - my baby can finally see! The shots were taken last night, so excuse how dark it is. Im going to detail her today, and probably pull the side moldings aswell so I'll try to take some more pics.

Keep them waxed so the new ones won't haze over like that again any time soon.

Regular coats of wax will likely be your best defense if you drive the car in all weather conditions. I've seen guys with 70-80k+ daily driven miles (even snow/salt) on the stock lenses and they still looked great, but they'd been waxing them since the begining.

Step 2) Order Whistler STYLE headlights from company of choice...
Step 3) Install them when they arrive
I know what you're thinking but he did NOT polish his stockers... If you look the stockers were FULL Whistler modded and these new ones are the store bought ones...
