Talking Clearing headlights, Halfway done! PICS

Well the passenger side was easy. But the driver side has the afe cai thats in the way so i might have to take that out.

Here are some pics. Im not convinced of the reliability of the ae so im not going that route.

enjoy





Makes the car look about 4 years younger.

Krunk Man, I plan on removing the amber corners of my 2000 4.4. I see you also removed the circular piece from around the low beam light. Does it affect he scatter of the low beam light. Should I leave it in or remove it as well. It looks much cleaner with it out.

Your lowbeams will be fine without the baffle/waffle if you have xenons. I did this and never get flashed. however your high beams are now like spot lights! when it gets dark aim them on your house/garage and you will laugh. Basically you can forget about ever using your highbeams with good success.

I hadn't noticed the high beam cover off as well. I agree it looks better but I may leave it on for function. I don't like the look of the baffle around the low beam so will remove it. I will pick up some silver bulbs as well to complete the look. Thnaks for the input.
