gen 1 headlights peeling

i just noticed today both headlights are peeling from the top, this sucks. i still have my stock headlights but they look like **** also so i think i may need to buy a different set of headlights. anyone have the ones from modernperformance yet, the depo projector lights.

i thought you were talking about your gen1's. im sure you could clean up your stock headlights with some paint thinner or something. but if you must just purchase some new head lights. oem is best since the lense doesnt crack or peel. im just going to buy a set of oem lights and learn how to retrofit. put some 350z projectors in there or something.

Hit up the wreckers for a set of headlights - should be able to get a good looking set for very little $$$$.

Swap the lenses to your gen 1's, done

I like my depo gen 4 head lights just be sure to use Hids in them or the lens cracks or else switch out with the stock lenses.
