Looks good, I have 98+ headlights also and thought about the clear lense group buy. But I chickened out because I didn't want to cut-up my headlights, great job!

Yeah they look real good. Almost makes me want to modify my fleabays and put a led ring instead of my ccfl. Once again nice job!

I like the LED's and the black paint and your overall light. I do not like the black outline. Would look even better if you had the Supermade lenses instead.

Good job!!

Here are the cutoff's. They look a thousand times better than my old lenses. It seems the line is razor sharp for the entire distance of the road ahead.

Your mod looks fantastic. Great work buddy! I like the LED look on the main beam. I missed the group buy and I am badly looking for these clear lenses. Do you have any contact (email) details for RidesLow as he seems to have closed his account. Cheers.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

I'm using the OE 98+ lenses I purchased. They have a better cutoff design than the older ones.

I actually still have brand new plastic outer lenses cut out from the project. They are lined, but can be very easily delined since they are just the flat lens pieces with the supporting bracket removed. PM me if you are interested in buying them off me. The group buy is over and the manufacturer of these lenses isn't in this country, it would be quite difficult I imagine to start up another one.

I noticed your project while I was doing mine and really gave me the motivation and guts to cut out brand new headlights for the look. Are you still selling them?

Not selling them, installing them. Did you get a chance to see them finished up?

Cutoff looks good. Though is there a way you can twist the projector/bulb so the cutoff is flat and doesn't arc?

No I haven't, can you link me to your thread if possible?

Yes, I have since corrected that. The reason the left headlight was drooping was because the weather molding had not been put in place so I haven't screwed in the headlight completely. My garage driveway is actually sort of slanted so it appears to be arcing on both sides.
