[ndottaylor]

I'm in need of a new header panel bc mine is pretty farked off. My headlights are angled low and I cant see at night. Do you all think this is a good buy??

i've been debating one as well for quite some time... when i originally wanted one they were way more expensive so i'd say it's good

have you tried reaiming your headlights before spending money on this?

Thats what i thought the problem was but its not. Its cracked and broken in several places and kinds falls apart even more as i tried to adjust them.

this is what it looks like... probably a little worse then this now

[bdyman]

just be aware that there are aftermarket companies out there that do make cheap ass knock off`s and take it from me those make the headlights look worse, but thats the cheap way
you go oem then you pay allot more but then you wont have to worry about making a afterbirth part fit better on the core support
think about that

[ndottaylor]

thats very true and i didnt even think about it. I just ordered it... damn

[Vinalero]

Well, I ordered the same one 2 years ago, and it fitted fine. Headlights are straight and solid.

It will do the job. the only downside I see is the clips holding the headlights. If you can keep the OEM ones from your stock header panel, because the new ones rusted out pretty fast.

[bdyman]

well the ones i have done that the package says tong yang, or some other aftermarket companies out there there products fit like a square peg in a round hole
the only ones that fit decent are from keystone, you dont want to listen to me thats fine, you got lucky thats all i can say, but its aftermarket for a reason, the aftermarket doesnt make it from the same material that the oem does
the oem is smc, the aftermarket is a cheapo plastic, but iam just sayin what do i know

[ndottaylor]

I got the part and had it installed for 35bucks... fits perfect. Lets see how long it lasts
