Was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on where I could buy some decent headlights! I have an '03 GLE that looks great but the headlights look foggy/old and I think replacing them would make the car look much nicer Any suggestions on headlight purchasing??? I know ebay has some for sale, I found these but not sure what I want yet...

THANKS!!!!

 

Just for thought, have you looked into getting your old ones polished? they sell a headlight polish kit at autozone or places like that. but if you dont feel confident to try that you could go to a local glass shop and they can polish them. If that is the only complaint of the old headlights. much cheaper than new lights.

 

I would definetly try polish first, you can make them look new for really cheap. Also most replacement headlights lack oem quality and look like crap.

 

Try checking your headlight fluid

 

I used brasso on my headlights and 10 minutes later they looked way better! i bet if you spent 30 min you could make them look like new

 

I use a single action buffer and medium liquid buffing compound running at 1000-1400rpms. It only takes a few minutes. Works really nice and makes them clear again but you have to be careful not to burn the plastic. If you don't have access to that sort of thing, I've also used Eagle F1 metal polish and a lot of elbow grease. The first option gets them crystal clear, the other, diminishes the haze decently.

 

PLASTX FTW

Keep your stockers and clean them up. They will look 1000x better than any aftermarket headlight, esp since you have OEM hid's!

 

on plastix if that dosent get it all
wetsand 1500 grit then
wetsand 2000 grit
miguires ultimate compound
then platix

 

+1 on cleaning up your current headlights first. Save yourself some dough and try that.

you deserve a for even thinking about changing our your stockers....

 

LOL! I honestly had no idea the stock headlights were that much better on the Maxima. Hell, I had no idea there was a great process to clean them. You all kick ***, I love how somebody always has an answer on here. I will spread word of this forum!

 

Yea you aren't going to find better quality headlights than the ones you already have, you would be throwing money away. Like everyone else has said, spend 20 minutes polishing those bad boys up and they will look brand new.
