their lenses aren't as "clean" as you think.. u trim your headlight's flat spot off and leave a little edging.. THEN you glue the new one over it so theres a little trim around the whole
thing on the edge.. its the only path available right now but its not as clean as you think..

Sorry it's been super time consuming and I've been working my *** off on it.

I don't want to start posting stuff up and then it doesn't end up working out, so just give me a bit more time!

Take all the time you need. If it was possible to get glass molds instead of plastic, I'd be doublely down. Either way I'm gonna do something about my headlights eventually.

just get a clean set of aristo ones and have them de-lined..
it'll be 300 on top but it'll be an oem headlight lens.. so it'll fit
perfect..

here's a picture of mines after i put in some LED and a retrofit..

Those are Euro-spec lenses. The euro lenses are 100% different than USDM and JDM lenses. EDM are 2-piece with the main housing being glass with a plastic corner lens while the JDM and USDM sets are one-piece units with plastic cover with a UV-resistant clear coat.

yup imported from the UK and made with glass so no chance of it turning yellow/fogging up and fits the same as usdm/jdm gs's

I sanded my lenses clear,(well 3/4 clear) and retrofitted Acura TSX projectors into them. Seemed to have turned out pretty decent, only thing I would change, would be the clear coat polish i used. I want to bake them apart and get them sprayed clear at a body shop for added "clearness"
