replacing stock headlights

My headlights are sandblasted from driving through the desert every day and i want/need to replace them. I have found one site that lists $110.27 each side. Is this a good price? does anyone know of a reputable site that sells them cheaper? thanks for any info.

Do you have haze all over the front of the housings? Or are they pitted from rocks and stuff?

If it's just the haze, you can go get some 3M plastic polish to clear it all up.

If they are pitted, they must have gone through some rough rides to get them to a point where you want to replace them entirely. Contact DaveB from this site and he could probably hook you up with replacements at a good price.

Peace.

I can save you at least $20 per headlight. Give us a call tomorrow morning and I'll give you the best price you'll find.

My husband has tried some polish, but its the kind to use on the glass . he hasnt tried the 3M polish you suggested. he will try that and if that doesnt work then get back here to see about buying the replacements. my windshield is in need of replacement also. i have already had to replace it once because of the sand blasting in the desert. we'll try the polish on the headlights first and see how it goes. thanks a lot, you guys.
