Come to think of it... my old clears are due for being trashed pretty soon anyways. I might take em out and try doing a whistler mod to them and see how they come out. Couldn't hurt.

Hmm... My clears aren't that "clear" I think it might look fugly. If I had the clear lens I would try it.



I don't remember how they would come apart, if they come apart either.

I just installed these monday on my red Z. I've been trying post pics but I cant. They are pretty cool. But you guys are right, they are clear corners painted black. The lens is clear its just the chrome housing that is painted a flat black. The do flow well with my black halos. I'll keep trying to post pics.

Just have to buy the clears and smoke them yourself. I can't decided whether I'm going to smoke mine or paint their housings flat black, whistler mod style. Either way, tomorrow I'll be doing something to them.

Headlights arent that bad but heres a warning, be patient, I cracked my housing pretty good. Fortunately it was repairable but still somewhat noticable.

I have smoked my clear corners and done the whistler mod to my headlights. I'm just waiting on some big things to get done first and then will have pics up later in the month.
