Funny this came up. I just got mine out of the body shop where they only replaced the left side lenses (including the fog) and now the D looks like crap.

I've been looking on Ebay for a set myself.

I have the single piece ones. They have yellowed and began to peel and flake. Good ol' buff ball shines 'em up but not clear as new, goldish. Thought they would let out more light than the stockers, nope. I picked one piece for ease of install plus fiberglass was short had to fab L-brackets for lower holes. I would look at Projectors for more light, dealing with HID conversion right now as high my headlights are the no high beam thing with the up/down bulb is a joke. Brite yes, giving cops another reason to pull you over, yes. I have been pulled over just because I was in the wrong area of town in my lifted Chevy taking friends home. Best one was speed ticket in Nothing, AZ. between Kingman and Phoenix. Not on radar but herd me coming through the canyon. Best 10 over vs he knew well over 55.

How long did you have them before they started to turn yellow? And are they the same brand as the ones posted?

I use tooth paste and a buffer, works like a charm. After which I wash it and use a good wax. It has been about 6 months and they still look perfect but I still will buy new headlights.

Yea, they are the same Ebay specials. Had them less than 1yr. Put them on with fenders.

bought the 2nd pair since they were the ones that had my interest for the last 6 months, and the install was a bit of a PITA but it worked out pretty well. At least now I can tell that I have Silverstar Ultras in. The bottom screw that is under the bumper line was the worst one, but I figured out that I could stick my hand in a hole in the bottom of the bumper and get to it with a ratcheting 10mm wrench. Overall I am impressed with the look, and I will get some pictures of it tomorrow. Next, I will need to change the fog light lenses as they are also yellowed and foggy. I will be looking for some clears and also I will be upgrading the bulbs in those to match the blueish light from the SSUs.

Heres the after pics of my D. I guess they do fit a little awkward but I can always fix that.

From the pictures that you have posted they don't look awkward at all.
I think they look good.

Thanks for the pics.
