U can get a set on ebay for like 180$ and they are the tinted ones but if you get them make sure u run a thick bead of clear silicone around the mating surfaces to keep them from getting any condensation. Look at my profile I have the 180$ ones and they look awesome.

I made my Foxes look a lot better by doing two things. I noticed it had condensation in it and they looked so bad that at night the Fog lights were better to drive by than the headlights.

#1. Wipe them with brake fluid on a rag
#2. Baked them in the oven at under 200*F

After that I put some polish on them and put them back on the car. Big Improvement.

Three years but it does stay in my garage most of the time but no matter how much u pay the UV will eventually get to any of them just put the car under a cover if not in use and in direct light when at the house. Also it is my daily driver and I live in SC and it gets hot so they have held up very well. Also stay away from trucks they sand blast them. Another way to keep them pretty is to go to a motorcycle shop and ask for PLEXUS it is a all in one plastic paint u name it polisher. It keeps a coating on the plastic and polishes it the stuff is amazing.If you can not find it locally look for it on the internet it is worth it for all reflectors rear tail lights anything plastic. I even use it on my paint on my motorcycle.

There is nothing like a new set of smoke headlights VS the original clear ones.

Well, someone told me to try it and I felt the same way... what do I have to lose. Lets put it this way, it cleaned up the oustide so much that I didn't know I had condensation inside them before I hit it with the brake fluid, just remember to stay away form the paint.
