Yes people have them. Why don't you contact the seller and find out if they are glass or plastic. If it doesnt say then most likely people cant tell you....just send an email on there.

ive heard the same... just some say they are glass.

My current 96 lights are terrible. I just wanted a quick answer on wherether anyone knows for sure if they are glass or if they are plastic.

Just thought I'd get a quicker response here... which i have. I've read all the threads.. and want to know if these are glass.


thanks

I ordered the lights from Racing House & they sucked, so I returned them!
They're glass not plastic.
Got TYC instead, w/Sylvania Silverstars.

Why do you say that TYC suck!
Wasn't my option to get those, but they look better than stock. IMO
They're stock replacement's.

Hey Jon,
I looked at my TYC lights & they're the Platinum Plus ones, that are different than the ones you probably had back in '04.

They shed out better light than the original's.

Why spend upwords of $200 on terrible lights? I do not care what anyone says about their aftermarket replacement headlights. They are totally inferior to the stock 97-99 lights.
DEPO and TYC are cheap replacements that lack in fittment, beam pattern, and over all quality control. The CM/ebay ones are no better. Clear glass and no shield equal glare city. Looks mean jack on output. You always get what you pay for.

I have TYC on my dads 96, my buddy had DEPO, heck I got corner lights from both companies each with their own issues. All this to save a few bux when in the long run they are a compleat waste. I am speaking from experiance, not 3rd party input.

They are only good for retro fits. Nothing more.

I spent nothing on them & they work fine for me!
As for the light output, using Silverstars they look good! IMO

The only $ spent were on the Silverstars.
