Okay so the Spyder Euro Crystal Chrome headlights I bought for my Durango don't have a very good light pattern. The light seems scattered, and has a very noticeable (to me) "V" within the light beams. Needless to say I don't like it. I need some input on the OEM style clear headlights that have the separate turn signal/parking lamp assembly.
I think that has been the biggest complaint about those aftermarket headlight housings. Yeah, they look awesome, but I agree with the scattered light problem. I bought a set of after market lenses for my 95 Jeep Country, and with the 100w bulbs, the beam was scattered to death, I put the set of 55w factory style headlight back in them, and it was a MILLION times better. That high intensity light just disappears after about 10 ft, rendering them useless. My neighbors boyfriend has the OEM style headlights, with Sylvania Ultra's, and says they have been the best set up he's had..and he is almost as picky as I am about things...

Are they the OEM crystal clear style? My stockers are all fogged and yellowed, but I want the clear lenses, and the clear turn signal assembly to match.
if you have the clear turn signals assembly just buy a clear headlight lens and put the set together with the parts that you like . . . (am i missing something here)

Yes you missed it. The only housings I have are the OEMs and my current 1 piece units from Spyder.
ahh ok i thought you had bought a new set of 2 piece headlights w/ clear lenses and clear corners, and were unhappy w/ the lenses, did you check ebay and/or amazon?

No not yet. I'm looking for advice on other types before I buy something else.

I bought some of the OEM style head lamp off ebay for about $25 for a pair (even came with bulbs). They're not perfectly clear, they have vertical bumps/lines (some type of filter? I don't know the reasoning behind it) but they work great.
I think you guys are missing my point here. I'm looking for clear housings. I have OEMs that work fine but they need a good restoration to eliminate the fog.
