Replacment Headlight Options 2g

[calico]

What are the options on replacing the oem headlights for a 95 gsx? Mine are yellow and one has water in it. I tried mothers and scratchit and the yellow was back in under a week. I see quite a few replacement healights on ebay, but some people say these burn out in under a week?

i like my ebay headlights except for the halo that goes around the low beams.

I like the halo...anyways, I dont see how a headlight assembly would burn ot a bulb faster because its off ebay. Unless it has different electronics then the stock one.

take some fine sand paper like 1500-2000 grit and wetsand it then polish them. then if you havent yet pull them apart and out the orange reflector and paint the black, thats what i did and im very happy with them

These are the kind I have (pics in gallery). I bought them from a different eBay vendor (velocity racing or something), but they're the same lights. Here's the cheapest I could find them for:

The reason for this is after the headlight has been polished back to its clear state, it needs to be sealed with a clear coat that resists oxidation. By wetsanding the headlight you remove all the oxidized plastic, but you also remove the last remaining layer of the exterior coating. I'm not totally sure which clear you want to use on these, but I know having it sprayed at a body shop with a paint clear usually works well. If you choose to do that make sure you don't use any polished agents that contain silicone or the body shop will literally murder you.
