I'm thinking about organizing a group exhange for clear corner headlamp assemblies, which would be made by http://www.clearcorners.com/company/ .
I'd have to invest in a new set of headlamp assemblies (about $680) to get the thing rolling, then amortize the cost over the number of buyers. Since the conversion will cost about $250 to $300 per pair, if we get ten buyers, I'm guessing that the final cost to each participant in the group would be about $320 to $390, plus shipping. In other words, for $320 to $390 and a swap of your existing headlamps for the clear corner lamps (with the amber lens replaced with a clear lens), you get clear corners! This is a lot cheaper than all the other current alternatives (except 1Randyc's do-it-yourself solution, which removes, but does not replace the amber lens with clear).
This will work like the TB exchange: you send in your current lamps plus payment and get the new ones in return (as fast as it takes Fedex to deliver, so you're not with out headlights for more than a few days).
Who's seriously interested and ready to spend the $? I'll start an exchange list based on the order of postings.

I'm interested only if I can get my exact housings back... No offense, but my car has only 5000 miles on it and my headlight housings are flawless. I got to send in and receive back my original throttle body in the recent group buy...
Thanks!
Thanks!

I am interested. I would definitely go for this. Is there any way we will see a picture of the final product before we do this? I would hate to shell out $300-$400 and not be happy with the look of the lens. If it does not look like the JDM or better I will just buy the Euro version.
And shaner brings up a good point. I only have 5200 miles and no scratches dings pits or any marks on my headlights. What happens when I get my lights back and they used to be on a car with 30000 miles and they are all pitted up?

I'm also with Shaner...at 5600 I want Michelle's original eyes back. Not necessarily because she only has 5600 on her, but I wouldn't want to go putting a guys face on my little girl's body

I'm interested in trying this one out myself since ClearCorners claims a 2-4 week turn-around time. Any chance the guys out there who have taken their amber lenses out could send me one of the lenses? I'll take it to a local shop and see if they can manufacture an exact replica of the piece in clear plastic. That way we still get the diffusor but at a cheaper price (at the expense of a few hours of elbow grease).
Any takers?
