Default advice on going one piece

As of now on my 93 teg i've got stock headlights. Of course all my friends are telling me to go one piece but i'm not all too sure that they would make that much of a appearance diff. To me it just seems kind of "iffy" at best. The ones i have seen before were all fogged up and ****. Any advice on what you guys think would be swell.

Go to g2ic.com and look for member LL COOL B. He sells them for 185 shipped and he refinishes them to an almost brand new clear finish.

Thanks to all who replied. I have looked on e-bay before, which is another one of the places I noticed the plastic on the headlights was all "foggy". Another place was G2ic.com (no i'm not a member, yet), and I looked at other peoples rides. If I do get the one piece, what method would I do to "de-fog" the "fog". I have no problem with any DIY job. The only other thing I've done to the outside of the car is to put CATZ lights on it, and some '95 GSR wheels (which look great).

All you have to do to defog them is put some buffing compound on them and buff them for a few minutes. Very easy to do

Word to the member before me. You may have one or both of two scenarios: hazed outside or fogged inside. The exterior hazing is caused by a deteriorating outer protective coating that many headlights have. Its just a clear coating that will need to be buffed out with rubbing compound. Just like rejuvinating old paint. If you have inner fogging, the work will be more extensive. You will want to pull the lense off of the housing, check/repair cracks, dry everything WELL and re-seal the lense and housing as best you can.

It will be well worth the work. You may even get a pair that needs no work. However, the aethetics that the 1-piecers give to the DA make it so worth it. I'm on my second set because of an accident. Going back to stock 3-piecers was NEVER an option. Go for it. GET US PICS WHEN YOU DO!

P.S., Go to the G2IC and find LL COOL B. He's known for great deals and great product.
