I have to ask; Whats a cleared headlight?

This is when you take your headlight apart and replace that amber lens with a clear or translucent one. Rick's Accessories sells these lenses. In Japan and other foreign markets, they don't put the amber lenses in.

You'll Bar-B-Q them next time you turn on the HIDs.

The HID doesnt work on this side and I assume now that they are cleared they arent covered under warranty, so I have to replace the HID bulb and was wondering what K they were?

THANKS!

You definitely don't want spider nests in your headlights, especially the fat ones. Too much extra weight, hurts your power-to-weight ratio. Not to mention the 50-50 weight distribution...
