15 min swap out

Got some new cheap bulbs which are way better then my silverstar ultras.
Also got some clear corners.
I even put the new bulbs in my headlight with barely any reflector left(due to mold.)

That's really nice. Are you going to sand/buff the other headlight to make it look a bit better? It can be a bit tougher to do with those nipply thingies on the glass, but you can get it accomplished for some clearer light and a more consistent look all over. If you got your clear corners from eBay, who was the seller?

Nice. I haven't seen that seller yet, but I'm glad to see that worked out for you. So, what are you doing with the old headlights? Keeping them as spares?

I'm going to keep the Passenger side as a spare and throw out the Drivers side because the hole in it (that's been there for god knows how long) has caused mold to grow inside of the headlight so basically there's almost no reflecter left uncovered.
