Not a fan of those headlights, but you should lower it.

Just a word from the wise. KEEP ALL stock parts you pull off the car. You will probably need them at some random point in time. You have no idea how many times I have become angry at myself for selling/throwing away stock parts thinking I wouldn't need them.

Yeah the thing about some of the parts is that they were missed treated from the last owner, like the stock head lights he tried to clean them to make them clear again like if they were stock and he literally sand the head lights to clean off some of the debri, on the tail lights he applied silicon so the water wouldn't damage them. On the lowering idea I really don't want too, but at the same time I do, the reason in the area I live there's too many speed bumps, and well I'm planning to do an sir conversion on it just don't know when.

Nothing wrong with sanding the headlights to remove haze. The trick is to use something like plastic-X or w/e and make it all smooth again.

Adding a bead of silicone to aftermarket lights is smart as they usually aren't sealed 100% from the china factory they are made in. I do it to my aftermarket parts too. No problems.

Ahhh ALWAYS take pics to save for later! I made the mistake of deleting pics of my turbo build when I decided to part it out and not go through with it. Big mistake since I wish I still had something to show for the money spent, and time wasted.
