I know Rayme is selling clear headlight lens (a much faster and easier option which i can vouch for seeing them in person on my friend's car) but, hey if you got the time on your hands and wanna save a few bucks thumbsup.gif I was wondering if anyone on here has ever tried taking out their stock diffractive-pattern headlight lens and sanding them down until they are clear? I never took the lens apart so i'm not sure if it would work.

with the amount of sanding you would need to do to get them polished the heat generated from the sanding usually cracks/breaks the glass - doGGy did this a while back and had these results IIRC.
