Headlight housing replacement

[Nightbrew]

Guys, did some looking using the search and cant find much. I would like to replace my headlight housings as they are faded, cracked and generally not looking to good. I wouldn't mind replacing with new oem but of course the price is silly high. I dont like the look of depos and some of the projectors and such. Is there a low cost oem source or an aftermarket replacement that looks and functions the same as the stock? Per usual thanks for all the help

Not that I've seen. It's either OEM, DEPO, or some crappy plastic ones on eBay. I'm in the same boat and I'm not liking my options either .

I have experience with all 3 major options: OEM, Depos, and the Anzo Euro style ones.

The Anzo Euro style housings with the halos have plastic lenses and are generally total garbage. Stay away unless you're looking for something very temporary.

I like the Depos but the light pattern with them isn't great. I wasn't interested in retrofitting with projectors but I've heard the output is drastically improved with them. I do like the look of the Depos the best.

I'm going back to OEM housings. They fit the bill for me when considering price/quality/appearance/performance/etc. I found some from a part out in the Mud classifieds. If you look around and have a little patience you can get a pair in good condition for around $100.

Good used OEM show up quite a bit. That's how I got mine and they are perfect. Swoop up on them asap because they go quick. Check the classifieds on here, including the "Parting out" section, along with Ebay. Put some HIR lamps in them and you are good as gold.

Mud classifieds. You bastards are genius! Thanks

DEPO glass lens replacements are the best option IMO. Much better light output than my stock lights that were in good condition, just aimed for RHD. You can also retrofit projectors into the DEPO housings.

X2 on DEPOs.
