That 70 tube lasts a long time, each headlight needs like 2-3drops

i'd put some clear film over the lense just to ensure it stays nice on any set of headlights

My retros are made out of those I believe, was shocked they fit better than stock lol

What's this opticoat you speak of? And to the OP, retrofitting your own headlights could be time consuming if you've never done it before, but it's a fun project, and you can make them into anything you want.

And as far as eBay vs OEM, latter will be of better quality, but PITA to pull apart. The factory glue is much stronger than whatever they're using in aftermarket ones.
