last question, i would like to add RS headlights and i saw some on ebay and amazon. if anyone has bought lights from these places i would like to know if they are prone to leak/fog, if so ill lurk around until some one is trying to sell authentic ones.

Sorry for the mass of questions but i figured this is the place to ask.
As far as I know, there are no complete replicas of RS headlights so if they are RS headlights they should be OEM. That excludes aftermarket headlights like the anzo and eagle eyes. I'd check at how much they're wanting for them and what could possibly be wrong with them. Any cracks missing tabs etc? I've never seen an RS headlight that's never been open leak but there's always the possibility.

I used RP engine oil for about a year, didn't really notice anything different from the Mobil 1. I swapped back since most stores don't stock RP and couldn't tell a difference and Mobil 1 is everywhere. But it does work so no worries there either way.

Other stuff I got nothing lol but those guys did

How much was the RP? Quarts? Need to change mine. Not really sure what fluid to go with.

Oh if you're looking for aftermarket solutions, I have a set I'd be willing to sell if you're interested. They're the spyder headlight ones.
