wow that looks really good sanengo, iirc the black outling could be removed due to it just being some acrylic paint.

Looks amazing. I'm searching for clear lenses may go the ebay route. I have a cracked RH light and LH hi-beam need to do something soon .

Thank you all! Your compliments have really made all this effort worthwhile.

You can have them, but they are just the regular lined lens pieces (albiet brand spanking new and clear), but they are quite cut up around the edges from the removal process. PM me if you are still interested.

This is true, but all the grossness from the clear silicone I used will show.

I actually almost purchased a TSX ballast and D2S bulbs for this project, but I learned the 98+ oe ballast was just as good for all practical purposes. I'll have cut-off pictures when I find the tools to adjust them properly.

I'm not sure how well the clear lenses from the ebay fit the stock plastic enclosure, but if your willing like me you can use a heatgun and mold them to the proper shape.

Yes, high beams and foglights are on the way as soon as I decide on a front bumper to purchase

I've read all the concerns. I think ebay will be option number two. Great night shots can't wait to see the cut off shots
