Looking for Lightning headlights and upgrade tail lights.....

Hi all: Brand new to this forum-Love It!! Just obtained an '02 Screw and want to upgrade the head/tail lights. Like the look of the Lightning heads, but haven't come across any OEM ones. Has anyone tried any of the aftermarket ones that they like? Don't want anything cheaply made and have heard about leaking issues on some aftermarket headlights. Also, would like to swap out the tail lights to something that looks nicer w/ a "subtle" change. Don't care for the stock ones. Not one to go real "flashy". Thanks in advance for any help!!

ive only ever used Lightning ones, fit and finish and build quality goes a long way, and is worth the extra money IMO

I'm not opposed to aftermarket as long as they're recommended and of are high quality, but yes would like to find OEM parts.

IDK if LMC is OEM or not but for the Left and Right side Lightning style headlights and park lights it is $280 + shipping.

Where did you pick yours up? I want to change out my stock ones with lightning heads and corners. I eventually want Harley Davidson heads retrofitted with projectors but that wont be for a while. :o

I was getting ready to order some from ebay when a buddy of mine that works at advanced auto gave me a call. Some guy I guess ordered them online thinking they would fit an SD then when he got them they wouldn't let him return them. I gave him $60 which I think was the going rate on ebay at the time. I still need to order the corners though, I've been putting it off for a few months.

I looked on ebay and couldn't find any Depo's. I found some Depo's on Late Model Restoration.

They are excellent. From what I hear, Depo is the next best thing to the factory lightning heads.
