Plastic Headlights?
My headlight lenses are glass and broken. Has anyone had any experience with the plastic replacements? Are they as bright? More durable then the factory glass ones? I need to replace mine but don't want to waste my money on something I will not be happy with.

The plastic lenses will perform great - for about 3 months. They then turn yellow and crack and fog. At that point you will then need a new set.
Spend the money now for a decent set of glass lenses that have an actual DOT certification number on them.

Then get a layer of 3M Expel film on them.
They're crystal clear and the rocks bounce right off.
I've had mine protected for about 3 years and the
roads around here kick up serious pea gravel...
No Problem!
