Well. I think if the shop has long been i business, normally will not cheat I guess. YOu can ask compatible non-ori and also ori price.

Persona like this?

old persona headlight, can just buy ori, not an expensive part

i think might  be possible to even get just the lens for this model, maybe someone can point you in the right direction here

Don't tint your headlamps, nowadays those plastic headlamp covers x tahan mia. The crack is due to the headlamp cover and the tint expanding and contracting at different rate due to temperature, especially when you turn on the headlamp and the bulb warms the headlamp cover/tint.

Try to find a halfcut, should be plenty of them in the market considering how popular the Persona was.

yea considering halfcut or the link Zot shared hehe.

yes the plastic quality should be below par. abit only crack. gosh.

This is probably the best solution.

Oem and 3rd party headlights (pretty much the same thing) sometimes develop hazy front covers over time that looks terrible and affects the light's effectiveness.

just realized your post mentions 'due to tint'


i dont think its cracked... its just crazing... crazing can be mostly fixed, 100 bucks and it can be dealt with....
look up crazing see if its similar... if it is, have it fixed, noneed to replace

How's the eagleeyes light output? Last time they throw away with LED bulb if purchase the headlamp.

But they never answer my questions, is their projector designed for halogen or hid/led? Except that they will try level your light output if install by them at shop

For waja last time yes. The ori light output is better than aftermarket, not sure why. But waja ori headlamp light output is poor even compared with most perodua car.

Some owner settle with change high beam bulb to lower watt and use it as low beam

dont think is crazing as the line is more than 3-4 cm long on same areas.
i did search crazing and it doesnt look like it.
i aint removing the tint later light become flooded.

Suggest you get the $300+ aftermarket then paired it with led bulbs. You'll get good bright light during night drive.

My Lancer with stock reflector headlamp also using led bulbs and my dotter happy driving at night
