The LS with the kit has clear headlights and the stock has the pair with the lines.

I want those!

Who makes those headlights and/or who sells them? Are they just an aftermarket item or where they an oem fitment for specific geographic markets like possibly Europe?

Are the corner/signal lights stock with just a different bulb or are they completely different than the stock oem US version?

I just love the look of that car!!

I see them in various pics but not in the ads from the mags I have. I would guess these will be like $600 or so.

Because he's put on the new lower spoiler and removed the amber turn signal he's had to comply by having the corner lamp as a turn signal or such. Looks I dunno the applicability for our North American spec cars.

I'd like that grill and my alter ego would love to slam mine like that.

Hilltop does the clear conversion on OEM headlights for around $750. They're not aftermarket or an OEM option.

The corners just have an amber/orange bulb in them....I believe they're pretty much identical to the OEM ones.

Nice link Brian! I don't know how or where you found that. How about some English!

I have heard of Hiltop before. They make a clear tail light for the Acura Legend that's quite rare and also a r/c/r (red clear red) tail light also. I never knew how to get a hold of them when I needed them.

Here are the lights Hiltop makes for the Legend (from what I've been told):



I'm sorry that I don't have much LS pics yet. My collection with BMW, Mercedes and the Legend is more extensive. Once I get my LS I'll deliver better pics that are more relavent.

Thanks for the link Brian!!!!!! Now does anyone know of how we can actually order these lights? Or if any company here in the U.S. sells them?

You can talk to {-.-} if you're serious about getting them. There aren't any known U.S. companies that make/sell them.

I believe they are a bit more expensive then $750. I looked into this option a year ago, and was told two things 1-they cost about $1200 and 2-they don't really look all that great. {-.-} will be able to give you a better answer.

First off who is {-.-} ?

And secondly, that sucks that there isn't a US company that offers this product...or I guess if I'm reading right, service? It looks like they just take your existing headlights, remove the lines and polish them to look clear? That kinda sucks for $1000+ especially if it doens't look that good.

Someone should make a clear headlight for the 95-97 models, I'd buy one for sure.
