Wanted to spur some more interest and to try to clarify what would have to be cut from the original lenses. Our process is done with the lenses off of the housing, but the way they are made, any DIY'er can install WITHOUT having to remove the whole lens from the housing.
You can see here, the front of the lens getting cut from the rest of the lense
Below is the front of the lenses cut, and you can clearly see here what part of the lenses you will be reusing
You can see the lens below w/ the black edge.

So you don't have to waste time looking it up, Prowler is talking about this:
Way to toot your own horn there buddy. 
I agree, It's a neat and different look. It gives the appearance of chrome bezels and the sharp contrast with black and chrome makes it pop.
But I have to say it would look a whole lot better if your tape job was straight.
Use Scotch brand blue fine-line tape next time. It's a lot easier to pickup contours with.
That way the tape lines won't be jagged.
the look is hot when you put it all together.

once the lense process is done. the sealing to the stock housing should be easy. I had the problem because the ebay lens is smalled than the stock housing.. PLEASE let me know when lenses are ready so i can design a final headlight. ( with blue painters tape)

Wow Prowler, that's a really nice looking design. I PM'ed you back, hopefully that works.
Will keep everyone updated. The time is drawing closer for a final production piece.

BTW....to me, and this is my opinion, I think it's a real turnoff that you have to chop up your original lens for a couple obvious reasons such as some people just don't have the skills to make something like this come out clean, and second....what if you screw up? Then you gotta find another stock headlight somehow to chop up that lens and your back to square one again, plus the cost of another headlight.....you might as well have done it right to begin with and just got a 1 piece plug and play lens. Once again, this is just my opinion so don't flame.

I would be very interested if they didnt have the black stuff on them and where just clear. Also only if you could do clear hi beams aswell. As for price i dont car aslong as i can have low and hi beams clear without the black stuff around the edges then name your price and ill take them.
