    do you have ellipsoids or sealed beams? if you have sealed beams just get new ellipsoids. good improvement for not a lot of $$.

        Im wondering how your glass lenses are faded and yellow. Unless you are talking about the light output color.

          the lenses are worn out, no longer nice and clear, they have seen many days and years, the sand and pretty much road grime has faded them

          yes the light is bad too, I need something better, maybe a HID kit

            You should have sealed beams in your car. And i've only seen a very few with plastic lenses that could fade. Unless someone put autozone rice ones in it? I never seen glass sealed beams fade on the out side only the chrome on the inside. If you have a picture of them throw it up so we can figure out what ones are in it.

                If you want the best performance, go with Cibie "Euro Codes." You can get them from Talbot/Aardvark International for around $55 each.

                If you want bling-bling, then go with Euro ellipsoids, HID's, or whatever.

                    cibie is completely overrated... the euro ellips are the best quality and light you can get from off the shelf e30 lights... if you want hid bulbs for them get them from www.visionbulbs.com...
