Looks like broken tempered glass inside my headlights lenses.

Just did Maguiars headlight restore. Outside looks great, but inside looks like faint fractures much like tempered glass looks after breaking.

Thoughts on replacing? I'm not up on all the retro fit stuff nor do I want to spend a grand. This is an OEM 2006.

Its not a grand. You can do it yourself for about $250... Replacements tho, you could buy replica OEM housings, but those tend to yellow quickly.. Best to just buy yourself a nice set of new OEM housings. They will be more expensive but worth it over replicas.

Thanks. Are you the thinking Tasca or perhaps hitting the salvage yard?
I have seen aftermarket on autoanything but it seems the rave reviews are lacking.

Tasca or Rock auto would be good places to start for brand new. EBay has used ones that usually aren't in to bad of shape. If there is a pick and pull by you if wouldn't hurt to go take a look.

I just sold my used oem headlights from a 2006 on ebay recently. They went for about $120 plus shipping for the pair.

I decided to replace my lights with oem harley heads, pricey, but worth it for me.

I upgraded mine to aftermarket projector headlights 3 years ago and they work fine so far... not turning yellow at all...
