Re: Qaulity / Differences with Clear Lens from various sources?

My white car came with the smallcar ones (and bluish HIDS, which went very well with them) and I thought they looked great, and I actually had a lot of people compliment them. Some pics in the link in my sig. I should also point out that they'd probably look odd if you only do the headlights and not the blinkers, and that the blinkers aren't quite as clean looking since they have to have a thin piece of foam around them to fit snug. Also they had started to get hazy after being on there for some years and I polished them up with one of the 3M kits. I would have liked to clearcoat them, but I don't have painting supplies.

Edit: also highly recommend some orangy-amber LEDs instead of bulbs for the blinkers. That way when they're off, there's no yellow in the front of the car at all. You'd also need resistors so they don't hyperblink.

The headlights are hideous.
You and I could probably work something out since I've been meaning to do this to my blue car since the ones on my white car were pretty much destroyed in the accident. Also I have an extra pair of headlights. Highly recommend also doing the blinkers though. What grill do you have? Clear lenses would make the waterfall grill look weird I think.
