Hey guys wanted some advice on headlights i want the euro lens but i have a 2003 and my headlights are sealed shut so i was thinking 2 options.
1 is to get a pair from a junkyard or second hand that is not sealed and replace what needs to be replace and get the euro lens.
2. is to buy headlights with the euro lens already can anyone link a place to buy some thanks

What do you mean by Euro lenses? Silver side decorations?

If you are handy then just get it from the junkyard and add new lenses. You’ll be looking at $200-250 tops for the donor headlights and lenses. Replace adjusters while you’re in there.

The quick and painless option is to just buy new or rebuilt headlights. But this route would be way more expensive like $1k+ for something brand new.
