One of my headlights was spraypainted black by someone. I was so pissed. My dad, who's an auto body mechanic, got it off with gasoline though. *whew*

They are not after the lamp housing so much as the transformer/capacitor assembly that fires the xenon gas. The easy way in is thru the hole left when they pry out the lamp housing.

01 CL-S San Marino Red/Black, K&N drop in, no nav, rear wing, otherwise stock thus far, has an appetite for Bavarian cars.

Xenon gas is probably being inhaled by our youth as we speak. As a matter of fact, we better check out ol' StonedCL!

These lamp assemblies are useless once ripped out of the car however the bulbs ballasts inverters etc can be readily adapted to other cars.Sad to see a new trend like this starting.Jens
