Default Who has the very best headlight lenses for sale?

Gave up on changing out to Morimoto lights!
Now, I need to buy a pair of the highest quality C6 replacement headlight lenses. Who do you recommend?

RL Sebring hands down. He's been a vendor here for over 10 years.

Have you ever seen his product in person or are you just going off what every body on this forum says. And I only ask because I have a very high expectation when anybody touches my car to fix it.

I've seen them in person. He'll be doing mine as soon as I'm ready.

Wish they would remove there web address from the headlight lens. Also they do not have the tabs for factory gaskets. They have to be glued in place. Unimitza if you do not want your headlights to be an advertisement for RL Sebring and reinstall the gaskets like they came from factory.

I've purchased from RLSebring and installed myself. It is a high quality product.

Right before I put the new lenses on:

That is my main issue also as they still don't look stock up close. If they are not stock then I might as well go with the C7 lights. Anyone have a problem with either in a state that has inspections?

RL Sebring's design is an improvement over factory, which is why the gasket is glued. And honestly, how many headlights on all of the cars you've owned over your lifetime have you actually stopped and taken the time to read what's on them? I can say that I haven't done it once to any car I've ever owned in nearly 40 years of car ownership. Seems a silly reason to go with an inferior product.

It does, but it's a deal breaker for me too.

Can you tell me what the writing on your factory lenses say? There's writing there. Have you read it? What does it say?

I had my lenses replaced by RL Sebring earlier this year. My car was in a minor parking lot accident that resulted in a cracked lens. Both lenses were in need of replacement and were sent to RL Sebring. He did a great job and a quick turn around. The best result was the gaskets RL Sebring uses are superior to the factory ones and when the front end was reassembled there is no gap around the lenses, looks much better now.

RL Sebring has a great product, and is very customer friendly. Yeah, there is writing on it, which I noticed when I installed, and have never, not even once, thought about it since. The quality is great, no complaints.

I need to be paid if you want to advertise your product on my car.

My tires have Michelin written on them and they aren't paying me, I'm getting ripped off!
