Default Replacing headlights question

I am going to be buying new headlight for an 03 Avalanche because the ones that are on look like yellowed garbage... I was looking online and I see some that say WITH body cladding and some say WITHOUT body cladding, Can somebody tell me what the hell cladding is and which one I need.. On a side note, where is the best place to buy new replacement headlight at? thanks

why not buy a headlight cleaning kit? it goes on a drill and takes the yellow off the light, it takes just as much time to do as replacing and only costs like $30, your call

Ebay is a pretty good place to start for headlights; A set will run you about $100, but they look pretty fantastic, and you'll have a wide variety to choose from. Most of them offer a pretty custom look too, if you decide to go that route.
