Not real sure, it's the plastic that yellows, so a clear coat might work.

just got these last week...awesome...havent had any problems. however wiring is a bit of a pain as the halos need to be hooked up to a power source.

I have the Halo's as well. The light output is poor as you really can't see that far ahead of you like you can with the stock ones. High beams are even worse as it only increases the intensity alittle and it broadens your vison outword but not further. Still though i like the look that they present during the day and night.

yeah, see thats why i want to get new headlights to begin with... i need more light output! its so crappy i want to, and most the time do, drive with my brights on at night.

so what do you guys think my better option is here.... the euro, diamond clears, or brand new stock?

the only thing is as far as looks go, i like the stock ones better. the euros look.... um, mean (if you know what i mean), the Neon.... not so much! well not 1st gen anyway.

i dunno, maybe cause im a girl, i dont wanna over do it. i live in the bronx, ny and there are a lot of those (overdone cars) out here... civics and such. i dont wanna be them!! lol. can you blame me?

So best optionn?
