order some clear lenses from ebay. Not the entire cover. The actual light lenses used to refract the light.

I think the lenses are 2.5".

this is what I mean. It sure beats doing a full retrofit.

I've only seen one other member do this, and he agrees with me that its just as good as doing a tsx retrofit.

Hmmmm I was thinking about using those but I'm going to wait til my replacement HIDs come in and see how it looks. These will fit in the stock locations?

I am just curious to know if the stock sc400 projector lenses are 2.5"?
If it is...then it would be just a simple swap of the lenses?
hmmm..
