Great advise ToeJam300, I know what I will be doing this upcoming weekend. Looks like I will be cleaning/polishing inside and outside lens of the headlight along with attempting to add the Angel Eyes.
Thanks

thanks so much, it work like a charm, actually I did one side and then compare it with the other side, it made so much difference for just a very little work.

I removed both headlights yesterday. Great suggestion on putting masking tape on the fender just below the section for the headlight that is near the high beam. After taking out about 10 of the screws holding the liners in, I realized that just taking out about 4 of them around the base of the upper liner gave me enough room to access the 2 nuts.
It doesn't make sense to me why one would want to separate and reseal the front and rear since the interior is exposed to atmosphere via the 2 vent tubes. Interesting design on those tubes. One is shaped like a grease trap on a sink and the other has some sort of diffuser in it.

is the low beam light suppose to be so poor on these cars? I had to replace both low beam light from 55w to 80w xenon which helped alot, but then not to damage my wiring went back to 55w, except the xenon which is whiter and they really suck. The high beam is excellent, but good grief, the low beams just suck.
today was thinking about adding a set of fog lights to the front bumper, but can't find a place in the bumper that would give it a smooth look.
The lens on my car is not yellow and it is very clear, but i do have condensation inside of it. Usually if it doesn't rain for a week to 10 days, it will clear and then builds once it rains.
Is there a way to seal these without taking the unit out, once the condensation has gone? can i just put clear silicon under the black rubber seal that sits on the rim of the lens?

ataie,
sounds like you are in need of the ultimate upgrade to your lighting. You have two options:
1 - retro HID upgrade [i.e. e39 projectors/HID]
2 - aftermarket HID upgrade
4100k provides the most useable and white light
anything higher is getting more into the purple/bluish light.
In other words, try to go no higher than 6000k.
Best bet,do a search, you will see many members have done HID upgrades on their SCxxx and there are a few options...you can also check out the FAQ... www.intellexual.net for even more good info
