Re: 96-99 lights & 00-05 lights
All headlights for 92-99 are glass, 00 - 05 are plastic.
You can swap the 95-99 headlights into a 92-95, but they don't fit exactly perfect and it takes some fab work to get them in and aimed right.

Re: 96-99 lights & 00-05 lights
I must have gotten screwed then, or I have replacements, the Lesabre has plastic all the way around. Unless they just cheaped out compared to the Bonne's.

Re: 96-99 lights & 00-05 lights
Joe, your gen LeSabre's got plastic. Look at the design, hard to make in glass. 92-99 lenses are pretty much flat.
I don't like that the 92-95 fenders break so easily.

Re: 96-99 lights & 00-05 lights
That makes sense, they just cloud so quickly. I don't think they made it a month without clouding again after I cleared them last (sanding with 750-3000 grit, polishing for like an hour or two, more wet sanding, more polishing, then clear sealant). It probably doesn't help that 90% of my driving is at night, but still.
