Looking for this 2001-2003 Headlight Mod
 
I saw these headlights/corner lights on cardomain.com and I cannot find anything about them anywhere. Does anyone have any idea about them? It almost looks like the plastic over the bulbs was removed. Thanks.

looks like they just have the orange reflectors removed from the headlights...

on 01-03, you have to bake the headlights in order to release the adhesive that bonds it together. once opened, you can remove the corner reflector lenses...

Looks like the shrouds were also removed, looks clean

its not too bad... its 200 degrees for about 20 minutes on a cookie sheet.. just enough to release the sealant adhesive...

but won't your friends be impressed at your cooking skills? i mean, how many chefs/bakers do you know that can produce a headlight out of an oven?

has anyoned backed and removed the amber parts to make the headlight clear on headlights that are not xenon? I dont have xenon and im debating buying a pair of 01-02 headlights non xenon and doing this, but i dont know if I should not waste my time and buy xenons and then make them clear
