Plastic headlights

I just bought some for my Formula at NAPA. 22 bucks a pop, but it saved a lil weight and should be a lil easier on the motor hardware..

Axle/Gears: 10bolt 3.23's I think
they are sold as a long life type of bulb because they are more impact resistant than glass but yes they will fade and haze over
