1998 headlight lense replacement question=-

when replacing the head light lense is it necessary to align it or is that part of it not affected ? a friend put some cheapie china lense on his lumina and a year later they still look great .

Shouldn't have to move any adjustments.

I replaced mine with ones off eBay a year or so ago. They required some minor adjustments (from what I remember they were a tad high) and they still look like new a year later.

If you replace them, make sure you do it at dusk so you have enough time to put them in. Be sure that you have a garage door / open road where you can test the alignment of the headlights.
