Default Guys with upgraded non pop up headlights ***POST PICS***

Trying to decide if I want to upgrade my headlights or not. I see online where I can get a pair for around 200-300$. And if I was to sell my stock set (with motors and everything) I could make money and the new headlights pay for themselves.
So post up some pics if you got them and tell me your experience with them!
Thanks

I want to upgrade and plan on getting more for my old ineffective lights than I pay for my new modern state of the art lights. Can't teach stupid.

Not real sure if your correcting me even though what I said made complete sense or trying to be funny. But either way,
I was asking for pics.
Not a paragraph examination calling me stupid even though there wasn't anything wrong with post #1.
So thanks.
Obviously your correct though.. Stupid can't be taught

My experience is that they're a massive headache. Personally I'd stick with the popups, just upgrade the lights themselves. Alternatively, you could do some work on the popups themselves. I'm probably going to try to nab a set of SunGuns soon. They're still popups, but they're lower profile (lower opening) and they look much better.

Just my two cents. I know many other users have better experience with them but mine wasn't worth repeating. Best day in awhile was the day I swapped my popups back in.

I'm sorry I don't have better pics but my Dad owns this car now (it was all black when I had it). When the painter painted it he took the lenses off and painted Orange inside. Me nor my Dad had any problems with them, except the painter cleared the lights when he cleared the whole car so the clear started peeling off so my Dad replaced them with the lights in the second pic

If you make money when you sell what you took off can it really be called an "upgrade"?

Not trying to take you off topic but you stated you were trying to decide. IMO the fixed headlights are a downgrade hence the incentive to downgrade. Most people want and will pay a premium to keep the pop up's.
