Default Clear Corner Headlamps...

Anyone know where i can get or if clear replacement pieces are available for the front headlamp turn signals? I don't want to convert to JDM headlamps as the projection will be reversed (USA). Please let me know if anyone has info on this. Cheers.

Best wishes,

Brian

Yeah but they have self-levelling headlamps... Besides, i'd rather spend about $30-50 on clear lens' vs. a few hundred on the whole headlamp assembly.

Even if you found clear lenses, you still have to remove both headlamp assemblies and use a heatgun to unseal them, then pry them apart with a screwdriver. after putting in your 30-50 dollar lens, you spend another 3 hours sealing the units back up with glue and silicon, then re-installing them. If you've never done it before, you're looking at about 8-10 hours of work. (assuming you have all the right tools and a Helms manual.)

They are right. This is a manual job all the way. The JDM and Euro spec headlight assemblies have a clear diffuser, but it is not available as a seperate piece. Basically, if you want clear out your headlights, you are going to be in for a lot of work.
