Default Clear Headlights

I am looking for someone who has done this mod and is willing to help a fellow S2K member out! I got me a silverstone and she needs some clear headlights! Help me!

For the money it cost, I'd let wingman do it every time.

I think w1ngman is definitely the one that's done this the most. i think some of the local people have done it themselves..
david, tim, etc... have done it


here is a pic of mikes2k's ...courtesy of w1ngman

once you have the housing removed from the body of the car the rest is actually easy, just looks scary......when resealing them all you need to do is coat it up thick w/ silicon...you won't see the silicon anyway so just lay it really thick...buy 2 tubes of the black stuff.....remove the bulb also just to be safe....then start by cooking the for 15 min...feel em...put em in for another 5....start to pry them open...then put them back it for a few more...they should just slide apart....then before putting them back together put them back in so the old silicon heats up and you can move it a little...then place it back together and coat it thick .....it's fun when you do it yourself just cause "you" did it......just don't put the oven to BROIL

Mine are just cleared. It is chrome underneath the diffuser. The clear diffusers were not available when I cleared mine(did mine almost 3 years ago). No mater what you do, the S looks better with the orange removed from the lights and side markers. I have done 3 sets.
