I don't have any pics but you can get maier plastic with the stock lights.

From what I've heard, Maier plastics are difficult to get installed. and the fittment is really poor.

I have the option of getting ANY aftermarket plastics out there without spending a single dime and chose to buy new stock plastics for this EXACT reason. No one else makes aftermarket plastics with the headlight option anymore.

If you want to keep your lights, keep the stock plastics.

the maier are not perfect but if you want to change colour. there are still a good choice. it might take a couple minutes to install but the rest of still good quality.

This is true. You're options are limited if you want to change color and the Maier plastics would be the only choice then.

I've just never had any luck with the Maier plastics, so I guess I am kinda "skewed" in my opinions.

I have had success with Fullbore, but they don't make plastics witht he light in the anymore (otherwise, I would have purchased them)

The Maier plastics will accept (and I use that term loosely) the stock headlights.

If you go with a non-headlight plastic, I would recommend the Trailtech lights. Their new HID system is really sweet, but it's hard to get a hold of.

I use their 20 Watt bullet lights to suppliment the stock headlights. They are as bright as can be!
