I have some of the ultra cheap diamond cut lights. The back part was plastic and I'm sure they aren't the best out there, but they put out slightly better light than the stock lights I had, for about the same price as the stock ones. If had them for about 18 months and they are still ok. One of the lens got a crack in it pretty quickly. The glass lens felt pretty solid, so I think the crack was just from a rock. I picked up some used e-codes to replaces them with. Ask me in a couple weeks (when the snow is gone) and I'll have a better idea how they compare to high end lights.

Headlight mods can go two ways: Cheap cost and cheap look or high cost and good looks. Pick your poison.

The operative word to this topic is cheap.

Don't become the dreaded PO. Take care of your car and take good care of it. If you're looking to pimp your ride please get another type of car.

I have a set of the reverse glow gauge faces from 9xauto.com. I'm considering selling them if you're interested.
