Are they a direct fit to a 90 TGP and are the bulbs replacable.

Thanks

Composite or Glass headlights are exactly the same design...just different material... 8)

Pastic headlights suck I found out. Try for glass, they have a better light patternon the street at night. Look for the brand name "Guide" on the glass lens. Cheap asian repracements are just that. They have a fake lens that has no pattern. Buckin Fasterds!

I checked at all the yards and they were all out or broken and they offered to order me an aftermarket "brand New". just not the Guide "brand".
