Hi

Been gathering info to DIY the headlights, 3M do a kit I hear but doesn't last long and they'll go back to the frosted glass eventually.
Later Coupes had clear lenses but I'm guessing some have HIDs / Xenons or somesuch but have to have headlight washers to be legal. As my Coupe doesn't have washers what mdoel am I after as direct headlight unit replacements please or can I just get any lights and just put regular bulbs in them?
Thanks folks

Facelift lights with projector lenses and regular halogen bulbs drop straight in. That is your easiest upgrade.

The reason it doesn't last is because you sand off the uv protection. Plastic lenses are crap.
