Default Anybody figured out how to make a clear headlight **** yet? (already searched)

I was thinking of doing the clear AC *****, but I think it would be way cooler if the headlight **** was clear also.

Depth is the problem. The AC **** will push on and turn the switch, but it is way too long.

Any remedy?

Thanks

I have a remedy; don't do it! It is ghetto trashy. I did it, and then I had to buy new ones, because I got sick of how bright the ***** were at night!

Funny, I've never heard of the clear *****. Sounds a little corny to me...

If you peel the rubber off of the stock *****, they are clear underneath, and light up at night.

I know they are clear underneath. But the headlight **** is not. A HVAC **** woudl have to be modified to fit on the headlight switch. that is what I am really interested in.

Yeah yeah, I'm a big ricer. I'm a poser. SORRY.

Oh wait. You mean I just have different preferences for the look of my car and that's ok? Oh yeah that's right.

So, I can look rice if I want, and run a 12.4 with more engine mods in sight?

What a poser I am.

Hey its alright. I just get fed up with these boards sometimes when anything besides stock or a major engine mod. is regarded as rice.

Just pisses me off sometimes.

I know what you mean, and the only reason I said I don't like it is because I tried it! I really don't care about what other people think. If they like it, great, but if not, and I do, I really won't let that change my mind. To each his/her own.

You should buy a lid if your wanting to make your car look better.

I did the clear **** thing. I went back to stock though after the brittle plastic broke and I had to replace one of the *****. The rubber insulates it apparently.

I think it looks good. I have white faces on my headlight and HVAC controls and think that might look good clear with the white.

Hey General Z, im not trying to offend you or anything. Just putting in my $.02. I think it looks like a Honda mod. If you like it, then do it, it's your ride.

Is there a way to change the color of the bulbs that light up the *****?
part # for the bulbs?
