The bulb housings and plexi glass lens both melted, the outside frames are still good, they could be fixed but I would rather put smoked stock ones in. Lighting power through the smaller lights sucks, you don't really want the tsi's

second pic shows smoked fronts. (technically they are all the same, you could put red ones in front in place of orange) but those were shaved and nightshaded.
