Default 2006 Limited Convertible 65,000 Miles

Just wanted to know what the best source of headlights would be and what maintenance intervals are on the car. Has very few issues. Good books on the car?
Thanks!

Almost everything you need is here online from owner's guides, student manuals and service manuals.
Why do you need a headlight source ? Are they broken ? ( them suckers are like peeing into a cash drawer, that can run into money )
If not, than there's a 95% chance you can restore them back to like new.
Lots of threads on here about that too.

Change the oil and filter at about 7000 miles, rest of the fluids about every 50-60K.

Check the rear window bond and look for any leaks from the convertible top cylinders.

Headlights look like someone attempted to restore, but they are a week point of the cars looks, everything else (almost) new. The center caps on the rims need attention. What method of restore gets the best results? Thanks for your response!

I used Meguire's Heavy Duty Headlight Restore Kit.
Some have even taken the car to Sam's Club, they'll do it for about 20 bucks.
Good idea to put on Expel or Laminix clear plastic covers to protect them once you get them pristine again.

( A NEW set of headlights will run you around $1000, if you go that route, I'll gladly adopt your old ones as a charity )
