    more desireable to YOU

    What would you consider to be a more desirable item?

    1) stock US ellipsoids with decent lenses, and freshly repainted (black) trim rings

    2) Smoked US ellipsoids with freshly repainted (Black) trim rings X Cross hair

    3) Smoked US ellipsoids with freshly repainted (black) trim rings Y crosshair?

    keep in mind these lights are coming OFF my car, and have lightly to moderately pitted lenses. all adjusters are good, all clips are intact.

    trying to decide how I want them configured for a possible sale

          How about straight up E-code elipsoids? No cross hairs, no Ys, just a straight up E code lens.

                As nearest I can tell, Im the only person running Y crosshairs. That would make this set potentially 2 of 2 in existance. (making them nearly priceless....haha :D)

                here is a piccie of the ones I just finished and installed

                  sealed beams are pretty neat.

                            I kinda like that Y crosshair. I'd have to say, for your car you can pull off the smoked look very well. Some cars can't. Either option #2 or #3 would be my choice. I think sealed beams look cheap and crappy IMO so I agree with James^^^. Sealed beams could die and I wouldn't mind......lol. :)
