Okay i think i should get a copyright on my clear lens idea, i would make soo much money… archivethis and make sure that everyone knows that me, chsscott thought of this so next time you go to a car show and you see those headlights, tell your friends “i know that guy”🙇‍♂️ ---

Hey B, did you mold your lip to your bumper? Or is that an aftermarket bumper? Either way, it looks pretty good. :werd: ---

Thanks again for compliments guys. chsscott, I don’t think sanding the inside would work. First of all it’s a pain in the ass and I don’t think it would look that clear because of all the hairline scratches. You can’t even buff the inside cause it would be too hard to reach some areas. 92\_NtEg: yes the stock lip is moulded. ---

Isnt this what member DP24 did to his lights? Not positive, but I think it is and he has them for sale now. Cept he didnt paint over the corner area. What nipples are you guys talking about. My one piece lights didnt have any nipples on them?? ---

What nipples are you guys talking about. My one piece lights didnt have any nipples on them?? [/B] hehe the nipples are the glare guard. When you turn on the fogs you see that black spot in the middle. You can get rid of it. Your fogs will also look much brighter. I’d love to see a photo of DP24’s car with the lights… ---

[/B] I thought I saw his lights for sale somewhere, but I don’t remember how his turned out compared to LL’s. I wouldn’t mind getting some new ones anyway–my wires are gettin’ old and frayed. (Yep, any excuse to spend money on my car…) ---

No dude, I sell them for $185 shipped. Even if it was $165 I wouldn’t do all that work for $35. It’s really not that complicated. You should do it your self but if people are willing to pay good money I may go for it. ---
