Default Best source for OEM headlights?

My headlights are alittle faded and have alittle moisture in them. What is the best source for 99-00 OEM style headlights? How much should I expect to pay?

If you are just looking for stock OEM headlights...you might want to consider just doing a little work to your current ones. You can bake the headlights and reseal them to get the moisture out and you can do a sanding/polishing process to make them look nice and clear again.

That is the best product I have ever used for headlight cleaning. I have a 98 Civic coupe and the headlights were faded and cloudy and yellowed. I followed the directions in the pack, and an hour or so later, I had brand new looking headlight. The pack cost me $15 and it saved me hundreds for new headlights. As far as the moisture, I am not sure what you can do with that, but there may be a way to go from behind with headlight and use a rag to get rid of the water droplets. Then, I would suggest to reseal the headlights and make sure it doesn't happen again.

3m head light restore for the lenses, pull them apart, dry them and re silcone them to be as good as new, for like $30 and the better part of a day.
