Was just reading the Ebay ad you posted ,not that I think you missed it but ,it says its "for one side only ,the other side is listed sepratly" ,so dont just order 2 ,lol

 

Sanding only prolongs the issue.

Just buy new headlights cause iv wetsanded mine 3 times and fallowed all directions to a T and they'll last about a month then be even dimmer and faded than they were before.

 

hey yak what is the best headlight unit to buy? what brand and what site? i think ebay has the better choices however, ive heard that the units you buy on ebay do not have adjusters. that is the only downside that i hear but maybe i've heard wrong.

 

Honestly, OEM replacement if you're not looking for any projectors or HID's or any of that crap.

They'er expensive as hell IE 120 at the dealer, but you wont have any problems with adjustments or fitment or any of that crap because they'er the same damn thing you already got.

and in another 10-12 years you'll do it again if the truck is still running at that point.

I just installed aftermarket running lights under my bumper, they'er brighter than the high beams on most cars and they'er cheap " 21 bucks for a set " i still use my headlights too but i dont rely on them as much as i would if my lenses were mint.

 

I just installed a set of these headlights - due to a bumper bender..

There is also a product by Permatex - Headlight Lens Restoration Kit, Lense Restorer - Item# 09135

 

how are those headlights? do they seem durable and of good quality? did those headlights come with plastic retainers that go into that rubber lining crap?

 

The ones I installed are OEM. You have. To buy each side seperately. The only thing you have to remove from your old set is the adjustment screw in the light itself. There are 3 adj screws total but you need to remove the metal pin covers over the adj screws to get them off. These lights bring back the life in our old treasures.

 

I have ordered parts from www.LMCTRUCK.COM. I ordered the headlight relay unit and it has improved the headlight output. they have OEM parts for many makes and models and have a catalog for the Dodge Rams. Good website.98 Dodge Ram 1500 107,000 miles and going strong

 

Same as OEM - just ABS Plastic instead of a the more fiberglass thread reinforced OEM plastic.. Yes they have the side buttons for the rubber strip.. even comes with the rubbers and headlight bulbs..

I am happy with them..

 

i polished mine with brasso, cleared them up for months until i got my HIDS
