I was also glad I found a set that was new,,, a lot of the used ones I saw looked worse (cloudy/scratched) than the halogens that were on my car.
I keep thinking about the used condition to spending big bucks on used is always risky

I keep looking for a good used set but I don't want anything yellowed and for what people want for used, it is not much more to get new.
My thoughts almost exactly

p.s.
I would love to see Nine8Six's mod available for sale. I'd do that mod in an instant.
Yeah, I guess I need to just do it...Thanks everybody for all your comments. I'll post some before and after when I get them along with the rest of my de-amber
