u mean to tell me I'm gonna loose some light output? Awe man? What about the ECE type lamps for the Toyota Windom in Europe? Is this one clear? I'm going to be as creative as possible. I still feel there's another way. If we can get around this...Great!Jamai22 can you point us to the link where you did that mod about sanding out those lines from your GS3 headlight?

Wow...all that work...do you feel it was in vain? I have the equipment, with the relay in place and the wiring to hook it all up. I just gotta get my hands on a dremmel. And out here the funny part is people I've been talking to about loaning me a dremmel cutting tool look at me like I'm speaking Chinese. I don't want to have to shell out an additional 60.00 but if I have to...most stores DO have a 30 day return policy

yep, you can always buy and return items after 30 days. that what i did to take all pictures of my car that i have posted. lol. i thinking sanding down of the lines in myheadlight looks a lot better BUT it took like 1 entire day of work to do 1 side. and the increase in light is minimal. a new custom lens is the only way to go.
