Hey Guys,
I have been looking for and working for clear headlight lens replacement for the gen3. I don't like the OEM "iced" lens, so hopefully i can find it.

I found something headlight covers: http://216.109.67.253/keystone/commo...cclear_gen.jpg What do these look like, will they work as a replacement? Thanks.

Just heat the lamp in the oven and pop the lense off.......then wetsand the inside untill the texture is gone.

Will that really work?? Wow, thanks DJ. Nice job on Khanh's retrofitting by the way. Soon, hopefully i will be able to buy those HID's

I have never taken my healight off of my car before, is it hard? Thanks.

Tell you what........it makes no sense for me to tell Gen. 3 guys how to clear out the front lense if I've never done it for that car before....so I'm going to buy a headlamp...clear it out, and I'll post the results.

Wow, thank you DJ, you are the MAN. That would be GREAT, because if i can do that, i would then make projectors w/halos, and then buy the HID's from you (of course). Thanks for helping a Gen3 brother out. I really appreciate it.

there was someone else on this board looking for a guy who had hid's and clear lenses on a gen 3/3.5...i think they said he had them custom fabbed or something

cleaning the stock lengs will get some of the yellow out but it won't be a clear/euro lens like khandoms or the newer cam's...

keep searching though and let us know if you find something

yeah, i am gonna try to find true clear lens too. Would anyone be interested? I will keep everyone updated.

I'm not talking about cleaning the lense.....I mean actually getting rid of the texture. I'll find a way.

i just meant getting rid of the texture, as you said. I don't need it to be crystal clear, because it's not going to be. So i will still try to find the clear lens replacement.

In the mean time, keep at it DJ. I can't wait to see this

, thanks so much for your help. I appreciated it greatly.

well, if you find a way, let us know!
