New Headlights
Hi all, back again with another question.
My grandfather and I have attempted to remove the film from the headlights so many times, and nothing has ever done the job (we tried wet sanding it ourselves, and even taking it to a shop, nothing worked).
So him and I have set on simply buying new headlight covers. My question is which ones?
I have a few options, but I'm not sure which would look best.

It should be noted that the car color is grey charcoal, so I'm not sure how black headlights would look.
For reference - here's the lights now. (2nd picture) http://imgur.com/a/kyAar
Also - how difficult is it to replace the lights? Could my grandfather and I do it, or would we have to take it into the shop?
Thanks.

Your lights dont look that bad IMHO I have seen many that are much worse. When you sanded them did you do it by hand or with a polisher? If you are set on getting new lights then I would suggest the silver depo's. Look in the pictures thread for cars the same color as yours with those lights. The light output on the depo projectors is not that great.
Replacing the lights is a little more complicated on facelift cars and involves removing the front bumper cover.
