Has this happened to anyone?

He also told me that I should be able to buy new headlight lenses that will fit with different headlights. Any idea when these will be out & for sale?

Thanks!!!

LED headlights? LEDs put out so little heat, a hundred of them would not melt the lexan covers used over the headlamps. (That's one reason why LEDs illuminate immediately, they do not require heat to heat up an element to creat light.) Do you mean Zenon, I really have no seen any GOOD LED headlamp bulb replacements?
Unless you increase the wattage to the headlamps, there is no reason they would melt the assemblies. If you install real high wattage bulbs, you probably will melt the wires also.

That's what I thought at first but I guess they do heat up. Here's an article I found online.

It is really easy to install the headlights the fog are a little more difficult to get to. You will need H10 bulbs and H13 bulbs.

Mine only lasted about a year so I put the stock back in until I get arond to buying some more. They look great but I suggest the Sylvania bulbs because my brights did not work after install.

I used H13st for the headlights, but 9145st for the fogs. Aren't H10s a headlight size?

How do you get to the fog lights?
