You should definitely swap the high beams for the 95 and up glass High beams or if you can get the ebay version of the high beam with the projector lens and just take the lenses off of that as well then you will be completely clean after that!

The high beam ones fit perfect, I forgot who did it but for sure those work... if the Ebay ones fit "perfect" then I don't see why everyone would just go that route instead since the Ebay headlamp set runs around $260ish for highs/lows

Like i said.
Fitment its not the best. When I do my retro fit i'll get the supermade lens. I did this for the time being.

After you fixed your typo, now it makes sense LOL

It used to say "Fitment it's the best" and that's why I posted what I did afterward.

Lolol Hey, so how much of a gap is there in millimeters? Those pics= crap quality...
"Maybe" you could find some sort of black rubber seal that will make up that difference/distance so it wont look like it's really protruding, you have a dark colored car so it might just work fine. [Like a 'beveled edge weather stripping' if that makes sense...] Doesn't look like you have any weather stripping on those lenses at all yet.. Oh, I think you have two different city lights (Your headlights were made different years) one is half chrome, the other is all clear*

I'm the person who did the clear high beams and SuperMade Lows btw:

Yessir, that would be you =)

The high beams are from Ebay lights, and the regulars are Supermade right?

Indeed!
So basically, find the deal for projector high beam lights on Ebay (Around $84) if you want some clear lenses, and then there's a CL group buy in the Vendors section for the SuperMade low beam lenses.

I'm thinking of projecting a new set with some different "internal" tricks

OPTIONRACING (On Ebay) has free shipping right now on the projector high beams, which saves about $15 bucks compared to all else. Looks like the BuyItNow price raised by $2 but atleast there's still free shipping. That'd be awesome if you threw some projectors that match your lowbeams, into the highbeams inner housing.

I know I've seen someone who did such a thing before... (Not sure if that is what you are thinking about doing, but would be cool nonetheless*)
