Exclamation GEN. 3 Clear Headlamp DIY Project, Coming Soon!.....Really!

Ok, I'm getting down to business.......I know the HID/Projector stuff, but I want to see what I can do with Gen. 3 headlamps that are textured.

So by next week, I will start posting DIY and Pics on how to clear out Gen. 3 headlamps so that you can install projectors with perfect results.

If I find that I can't do it, I'll let ya'll know and wont leave you hanging.

Much props to bronzemaxell for volunteering his spare headlamp for the project........thanks man, I'm sure these guys appreciate it.


Bye Bye textured lense:

Well man I'm tired of seeing threads about clear headlamps, but they just die out. Seen them mentioned many times, but never a DIY on how to do it.

thanks
