you have to send in your headlight to HILLTOP then they can clear it and make take the lines off the headlights.

the example is for my car.

Yes any car, I do know that for an Aristo 147 to get them crystal cleared and blacken the inside it cost $350.
The reason I know this Im doing it for a CL member.

But every headlight price is diffrent. I found another company that will just crystal clear them for $250.

Which is better I dont know until I get to see a finnished product from both companys. Hilltop said they would not garantee or give a warranty that they would not leak. But they said they have been doing this for a while and are not getting complaints

The link didnt work.

I would love to send my SC headlights and get them to take out the damn lines. Do they replace it with glass or do they sand it down or replace it with a clear peice of plastic? I'm REALLY interested. Any more info would be great

Thanks!

Oh wow I can barely read half the stuff on the page lol I thought it was going to be in english. Does anyone know if there are any US companies that can do a similar job? I'm sure if there was it would have been discussed but I'll ask anyways. I'm a little iffy on sending my lights all the way to Japan.

The site had a picture of SC headlights but they looked like stock ones.

Hilltop will do all headlights......... they covert yours to what ever you ask them to do. The pictures of are just examples.

The other company........ is called Takokou something like that NO web page. This company will also put color to the lens... purple / blue / yellow and other colors too.

Thats okay if you feel iffy about sending them allllllllll the way here........ I would too if I didnt know the person. But for those that have trusted me already with getting them stuff are happy. Its no fun if I dont share the great stuff and info with others.
