Clear Lenses?, Looking to change Options

[RoadRage]

I'm not one to know much about lighting, but I am starting to dislike the stock lenses on the headlights. all the lines and blurryness just make me more interested in clear lenses. I've seen some topics about small mensions on clear lenses but I haven't found any info on it.

Projectors are an option but they are a bit out of budget, So I'm wondering can someone guide me to whats the go to get or make clear lenses? or if even such thing exists

Thanks

There have been people in the past who have produced, but I haven't seen any in a while.
You will have to get projectors too, if you decide to go with clear lenses. The OEM glass acts as a dispersion for the light, in a way guiding it.

I know of two ways to do this. One is to make a matrix and in that matrix the material is poured and then after it cools down you have a lens. This method is very expensive.

The other one is to make four molds of your existing headlights glass and bend the appropriate material to the desired shape, then replace.
If you don't have the skills, tools and money to do it your best bet might be to buy OEM projector headlights. There were some for $300 and something with few broken tabs which in my opinion is fixable. Or some in very good shape for $550.

There are several threads, you can search for "projectors" , "retrofit" "+clear +lenses"

As far as I know, clear lenses on non-projector headlights are not a good idea... If you look closer, your lenses have some vertical and horizontal lines underneath the surface, and this is what makes the light disperse properly. The projectors have something that looks like a wide lens inside, that makes the light from the bulb refract and disperse properly in front of your car. Without that the road is not going to be illuminated properly at night and there's a good chance you'll blind everybody in front of you.

Unless I'm wrong, there is no other proper way to install clear lens headlights but to get projectors.

+ seeing that you're Australia, you can install them without the necessary RHD to LHD conversion

Rayme made a handful of them and sold them to various members on the site who later on ended up reposting them for sale. You may be able to find a set somewhere, but you'll have to do some digging. I would take into account the statements made in the posts above and think whether or not its worth going through the effort for little reward or just to wait and save for projectors....or do a conversion in the oem housing





most of the people who installed these did a projector conversion in their OEM housing

IMO go with the projectors I've got them and they look absolutely amazing. They're expensive, I know but worth every cent.
