Guy's I wouldn't recommend swapping the plastic lenses from these onto OEM Housings, because after 2 years mine were pitted and looked like crap.

Ive seen them on ebay for as low as $152 which beats the hell out of $398 for ONE OEM headlight assembly. I will be ordering the lights an doing this lens swap very soon.

I read thru here and clear bra is said to make it worse because it holds the heat from the headlight trapped inside an you get stress cracks due to this
