Clear headlight lens feeler thread - GB coming soon

Hacked CL to become a Mod
At the moment, that's what we are going for.
We you looking for something color-keyed? If that's the case not sure our team could handle that at first, but at this point, nothing is out of the question. We're just trying to get some feedback as well.
Just came to my mind. The black trim is on the INSIDE of the lenses so no worries about it getting scratched or flaking off.

A fully cleared we can do (since there's no additional prep), but I am not sure how the end result would look with the sealant exposed, unless you can come up with something else.

You have it right the first way:
The buyer will cut the factory lense off at the edge where the housing and the lense meet, then glue the lense to this piece, let glue cure, and reinstall. There will be two ways to do this, bake the lenses off and cut or cut the front of the lenses off without baking. The latter of the two ways will not give you access to gluing the inside of the lense, although it shouldn't be necessary if a nice bead is ran along the meeting surfaces. Glad you are liking the idea of the no bake method (That's the way I'd prefer if I was doing it to my own car).
We will also offer a service to retrofit this, but we are looking to give a low cost solution to the clear lens problems.

Where exactly does it need to be cut and glued back together? Sounds like a lot of work .
More pics would help
thanks

LOL, saying what I'm thinking. Third times a charm? I'm pretty much convinced this clear lens concept is haunted and anyone who attempts it must suffer the fate of the gods. Good luck on the GB! (poltergeist history says... you'll need it )
