I have a 99Tracer with headlights that have turned hazy.I've tried buffing them out and even tried wet sanding with 1000 grit paper.I found even the inside seems to have the haze.So I'm looking to get replacement assemblies.
Any suggestions as to any particular aftermarket units that maybe better than others? I've found some on ebay that seem to average around $55.Then I've also found some for arond $95 each. The discriptions really don't seem to show a difference between the different replacement units.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,Markr

My two cents is to just get the cheap ones, what is the worst that can happen you replace again in 6 years? Might as well just spen a little now in case car is not in your hands later.

I agree with wheelsup68, however if you're also looking for a way to spice up the appearance, these would look really good

Those are the lights I wanted to get for my 3rd gen, before I sold it.
Another great website for escort guys is www.feoa.net
