Bought these for my 05 and they turned out nice.
For that price, you’re looking at the same cost as a set of TYC headlights, which are great quality headlights.
Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.
I have bought two used headlights from ebay before and had no issues. Just make sure the part number is the same as what your car has and that the label has "hella" specified.
hella 7” lamps that take a modern LED bulb for this exact reason, looks oem but headlights actually work
Hella H4 e-code conversion beam, full stop. Can run whatever H4 bulb you want, including LED retrofits if you want (don’t cheap out, I recommend Morimoto) but I find a good quality halogen bulb like Osram Nightbreaker Lasers are as good as if not better than most LED retrofits without requiring a harness upgrade.
TYC or Depo are OE replacement lamps, they're good enough for insurance and/or body shops to use instead of OE. The difference is the lens material, it's a thinner, lower grade plastic.
I do taiwanese after market brand new for half that. And they dont have adjusters 30+year old, prone to failure. The lenses on those also look like they have just been polished. You can see the yellow around the outer edge, which is on the back side of the lens, which hasnt been done. These will go yellow in 3-6 months, and i bet my life the lens is "crazy cracked," but without a closer photo cant tell. Im not trying to steer you toward buying from me, but i would suggest just getting a pair of aftermarket ones, if you do make sure they are either DEPO or TYC branded. Dont buy anything chinese they will be shithouse.
this is not normal and happens only on modern made Hella headlights which are garbage. You will also experience extreme fading of the lens in a few years and a circle burned in from the projector shine. I've also heard about the inner black piece fading but can't say for sure because I haven't seen it myself (the other issues - I have) The quality has dropped insanely since the cars production era.
I bought new hella lamps and mounted them nearly half year ago. Any ideas why they are getting so steamy ? any fix? Im so dissapointed, this shit is pretty expensive
