4igs2000 - we can't use the OEM version becaise it is too expensive. Given that the headlamps b/w LHD/RHD are identical except for aiming, and the insert, all that it would take to convert to clears would be changing the orange insert to a clear one.

Can you just get the clear insert made please?

It would be a LOT cheaper for all of us and I guarantee you that you would have a HOT seller. I've been watching the forum members requests for clear headlamps and working as a marketing professional, I know that you WOULD sell them, yes, even at $25-30 a pair


As I mentioned earlier, I am even willing to swap you a set of $100 SS braided brake lines for the first set of clear corners!!!!

PM me if you want to discuss.

Cheers,

While you're in Photoshop, try to make one look "blacked-out." I think it'd look good on yellow, and you could just buy some light smoking spray and do-it-yourself
Thanks

4igs:

As Sime, I'm only talkin about the diffuser injection molding, not the whole assembly.

I would guess that it is a relatively simple 2 part mold to make just these pieces of plastic in clear.

For clarity, i'm talking about the orange piece you would take out of the headlight assembly if you dissasembled the thing with the heat gun technique.

Hope you can get these plastic fabricators to do this. i'm sure it would be as good or better business than the 3rd brake light.

I am very interested in replace insert pieces for replacing the orange corner lenses. I'm sure it wouldn't cost much more to also make them in smoked. I don't have any experience with foliatec, etc's brake light spray paint but I think most people would rather just buy the lenses smoked so they don't have to mess with it.
