Yes they do.

I believe the law is state by state, but I believe most states require some form of amber or orange in the front. The newer cars do a good job of hiding it.

Double post? I dont care either way if I'm supposed to have them or not, nobody will waste their time writing a ticket for not having an amber reflector. The one piece units are selling for around 125 and the two piece units are selling for around 110.

Well it looks like the first one is a 2 piece, which means a new headlight and new clear corner. This is a lot easier install hands down (same as OEM) and looks great.

The second really looks like a 1 piece which is a PITA to install, however has the nice deep appearance and what looks like better reflection for the main head light bulb.


If it were me, I would take the 2 piece for ease of install and just install a amber bulb in the clear corner. This is what I did in my old Durango.

Yeah, I really really like the one piece though, but I don't know how it would work.

I know they are a real PITA to install, but I would get what you like and deal with the consequences later then......LOL

This is what they looked like on my old Durango.

I just put in a set like the 1st pair but 1 piece and they clean the look up so much. 3rd pair of head lights I have put in. 1st pair (on it when I bought it) were tinted cracked and peeling. 2nd pair 1 piece tinted and sucked horribly on nights. 3rd pair I am finally happy with are clear with clear reflector and night time is so much better.

It wasn't too difficult. 3 bolts hold it in for me. Hardest part was dealing with the ebay headlight ( had to cut some of the bracket out to make room so one of the turn signal bulbs would pop in and twist). Had a small gap from the top of the light to the fender so I used some weather-stripping to fill it in. Took me around 45 mins, with cutting the bracket out.
