So i have a 96 maxima and im getting tired of looked at my shitty yellow and sand blased headlights. Looks like the person who drove the car before me drove through a damn sand storm. Anyways, anyone have a suggestion as to where i can get some decently priced clear headlight lenses. I don't wanna replace them with the stock cloudy lenses.

the guy cant operate ebay, he cant fix his own headlamps.

I believe they're glass though...wouldn't that only work for plastic?

What does searching on ebay have to do with fixing things? If you make any varitation in the wording you type into ebay you get totally different results. Two totally different topics imo.

Glass? Hmm, normally nissan glass headlights don't get ugly, its just the plastic ones. Sounds like new lenses are in order - unless you want to make some molds of them and then use a vacuformer to make new ones (a little project I'm taking part in at the moment). I would suggest getting new lights and housings - over time they reflective properties of the housings fade anyways so if you have the money to get them you might as well replace the whole thing and get better light output.

vacuformer eh? You just doing that for fun or can u not find your style light anymore? Yeah I think im just gonna get new housings, the previous owner of the car siliconed up a hole in one of the casings anyways which annoys me...just trying to decide between stock look or a more clear looking casing. I like the clear lights but i don't wanna get something ricey looking.

I'm making some lenses to use for HID retrofits - stock lenses don't work well.

just get stock replacements.
