anyone tried acrylic headlight lenses?

[shogun]

A pair for $ 34.99 at the moment.
I do not need them, just interested if they are a good recommendation as replacment for the original glass lenes, considering the orice.

if you break the glass, hell yes.

They will scratch more easily than glass, giving them a dulled appearance over time. Buy some of those protector thingys that you stick on the lens, and they should be great!

I replaced both low-beam lenses 2 years ago, and they still look brand new. Frequent washing and occasional wax is only maint. i've done.

I would guess in a few years, they'll probably start to yellow... if not made by a known manufacturer. Of course, I'd get them (if I didn't have halos)... just like I'd get a top notch Maaco paint job to get through the life of the car ;)

[Thayne]

I used them on my low beams and they look great. Haven't had any problems with them.

[Macv]

Have them for my fogs and they're great. No complaints

I put these on my low beams about 2 years ago. The centers of the lenses are now pushed in as if someone heated them up and pressed the center.
