Default Nice!

This was a nice detailed write-up! I had my amber lenses removed awhile back as well and replaced the bulbs with a stealth amber bulb! It does look really nice! Great job!

At first, I wanted to remove the amber lens. Now that I am doing an HID retro, I think that I will keep the amber lens. IMO, the headlights look different without the amber there, like something is missing. I guess it also depends on the color of the car too.
