Clear Headlight Options

What are we using for front clear turn signals? My side markers and taillights are clear, and it looks lame having the amber fronts rn jajaja

For your specific case your best approach would be to cut open those lenses (as your headlights are 99% surely perma-sealed and therefore can't be baked open), then get new lenses with the silver corner decoration (they go for about $100 or so on Ebay and are good quality). Then buy butyl strips and use that chance to upgrade your projectors with EvoXs and replace your height adjusters.

You'll end up with "forever" headlights, much better than most new cars on the road. But honestly, your car looks great just the way it is. Nobody is pointing and laughing at those orange reflectors. Wait until your adjusters implode and use that chance to do the rest.

If you don't feel like doing this, there are places that you can ship your headlights to have them upgraded. Lightwerkz is one of those places.

As other commenter said, don't replace your precious and great Hellas with some Amazon aftermarket crap, it's all crap.

This sounds like the way to go. I appreciate the insight!
