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.)

Search for a thread on here about that. I think the current concensus is that the 03's are not working, but the previous ones do.

I just got the wheel from Acura dealer today so I plan to do the swap this weekend. On this picture<br>

<br>

1) Does the wheel puller goes with the long black bolt or do I have to buy it as hardware store?? If yes, then what size is the bolt so I don't have to run back and forth try to find the right size.

2) The wheel that I got is aluminum, so what size of the screw for install the rubber balancer 'cause as Jschmid pointed out I would need two of them.

Any more last mintute tips or useful tools to have before I start this DIY project

Thanks!!!
