I want some high quality clear front housings for my headlights.

Any input guys?

schmit your look great.


Should I buy some stock ones and take out the amber part or is there a decent set I can get aftermarket.

No projectors, just straight up clear and cyrstal clear glass.

Thanks.

You can buy some aftermarket ones, many people have and seem to be happy with them. I opted for the self-clear route basically to save money, but also to stick with the OEM fitment and quality. Is there a reason you don't want to clear the ones that are on your car?

jschmid, the guy before me already put on clear aftermarkets. Somehow over the past 2 years, the plastic housing has managed to get coulded and can't tell if it's tons of microscratches or just dust inside, but it looks like poo. My light dont' shine thru as purty and it shows up dirty on the inside housing when the lights are on. Also, don't shine in daylight like glass would.



So I need new ones.


Shaggy, I've got a beige leather wheel if you've got a beige center piece. I take paypal too!

If your headlights are clouded its because you drive way fast up peoples asses. Its the dirt and crap sand blasting your lenses. Mine are this way now. Getting new ones won't help unless you get some sort of lens protection like a poly tape film.

Tan interiors can use Ivory leather wheels. (Accord/cl/tl or mdx have them.)

hey jschmid -

Great 'how to do it', but I have a question before I start to install the TL-S wheel on my '02 Accord EX coupe (w/ cloth interior) :
what did you mean when you wrote (in the 2nd post of this thread): "if using a cast aluminum leather wheel you will need to get new screws to hold the rubber balancer weights on top. . ." I haven't removed the wheel yet, and don't have a clue what you are referring to ! Can you enlighen me, and if I need to get 'new screws' - what size and how many?

Thanks !

The one I have is from an '02 (I think, for I bought ir from a private party who got it from a dealer) and it's going on an '02 Accord EX coupe.

Still need a reply to my question two posts back. . .Thanks
