Seriously if you scuff yours and throw a light coat of tint spray on them they'll look brand new. I think the paint fills in the small scratches. You don't even have to tint them dark- just a light coat will make them look awesome you won't believe it. I did my car with model car window tint from a hobby store. Cost me about $5.
whats the product that you used...do you have any pics...i really need to try to fix mine i haven't even been driving my car at night cuz it is so bad
I can't post pics at work, but I can get a couple up when I get home. It was a tiny can and they should sell it at hobby shops that deal with model cars. Just ask for model car window tint- they'll get ya what you need. Mine came out awesome IMO. I need to redo my headlights, but my tails look good. I'll get a pic of the headlights/ tails when I get home. I buffed the headlights a little too quick after painting them and took a little of the paint off, too. Basically, you just spray on a few light coats, then wet sand smooth. You might want to clear them, too and wet sand/ polish/ glaze it. I'll get a pic of heads and tails tonight for ya.
Most people complain about BOI but I'm yet to have issues, my cars are also garage kept and average about 3k miles a summer so they don't see much elements

thanks for the advice everyone, blowncobra32v those look sick where did you get them?
Blue Oval Industries, a lot of people dislike there headlights but I haven't had any problems and this is my 2nd set
People dislike their fogs and their business practices. Their headlights seem to be of good quality (mine have held up great, I've had them a year and over 15k miles).
how close are they to oem?
Eh. They'll last. My car lives in the garage and only comes out when it's nice outside. But yeah without good prep they wouldn't last.
