I know some one that could get clear or smoked reflectors made just like the stock ones.

Price for clear could be around $100 and for additional $10 for smoked.

is the reflector=headlamp?

NFLblitze1

could u get a better price?

Teh Jatt

the part you wanting to take out (orange)

Teh Jatt

I can't say anything right now but we do need @least 20 people.

Where are you guys who want clear/smoked reflectors? I can do a search and find tons of threads ppl asking for them but now no one shows up in here.

PPLAPW

Basically the yellow reflector located in the head light changed to eighter clear or smoked, hmmm that would be cool if you want to retain the reflectiveness or just take it out completely.

Is this a shop that does this? He can make any plastic any color we want?

Teh Jatt

^ you got it man... but I'll check on the second part "any color".

Teh Jatt

Yes you got it man and i'll check on the second part.

edit: They might do it... but it'll cost another 10 like smoked. I will find out tomorrow and give you a definite answer.


Why don't we just stick with clear and smoked?

So are we still going to have to bake them and take them apart, because I want clear headlights but don't want to attempt it myself. Is this just the reflector that WE would have to replace

drdamian

can you please post some pics???

SilverUA5

I like to get some clear sidemarkers so it's brighter. Can this be done?

datmrman

sample picture (of the product)?

how would this work? do we send in our lights, or are we purchasing the clear/smoked reflecters to replace it with our amber ones?

leedogg

Sample pics would help. Also more details regarding what is needed/what we're getting/what we need to do. I'd love to get a pair.

Laxplaya11385

is this $100/reflector? or $100 for the pair, b/c these reflectors are MAD expensive. ($65 or so on some websites). I was trying to mod it myself, but the DIY looked waay too complicated. If so, I'd love clear ones (er....white w/ hyperwhite LEDs)

Teh Jatt

Yes because the reflector is inside the headlight.

Don't have any yet, just imagine the orange ones in clear or smoked.


no pictures yet.

You buy the reflectors and put them yourself or find some one to do it.

Sorry not pics yet... You don't have to do anything, I just want 20 people confirmed and then we'll go from there. Also the person who is doing this will have to become "official vendor". Right now I'm just trying to get head count so we can start this.

Teh Jatt

$100 for pair...

Teh Jatt

Can we start head count guys?

Would this still require baking the headlights? I think one of the reasons of baking the headlights is to soften the glue holding the headlight enclosure together... making it easier to pry open. Right?

I think the feared process (mine at least) is opening the headlight enclosure, scraping the amber off, reassembling it, and hoping you've put enough sealant on there to keep it from fogging up.

I think I would prefer a simple solution of swapping the original headlight with one already cleared/smoked ... or having someone trustworthy do it

coutn me in

Teh Jatt

The shop that did my lights didn't put the lights it in the oven. Maybe some esle can jump in, the shop in Glendalde did my lights and I don't know how they opened it. One of my headlights kept fogging up, so I took out the signal bulb (as teh shop told me to do) and drove the car w/out bulb for few days, the moisture was gone and never had problem with it again.

Teh Jatt

I been wanting these for long time... now we finally found a shop that will make them (exactly the same like stock ones), so lets do it people!

Teh Jatt

Take a trip to Glendale and have the shop there do it for you... Glendale isn't far from you, I came all the way from Fresno.

so are you in now?

A SiQ TL

Jatt, did the shop in Glendale give you a warranty with your lights? If they were to do another set do you think they would install these "new" reflecters?

Teh Jatt

warranty? no warranty what so ever. I don't think they will mind installing new reflectors... they'll do anything you tell them.


Come on jump in.

A SiQ TL

would but I'm in this camp of logic........

Teh Jatt

ship them out to the shop in Glendale?

PPLAPW

Yes you need to bake your headlights in order to get inside unless you use a hair dryer to heat up the seal. But its a pain! I tried this but it took to long, and it didn' really come apart, so I just baked them....

Check out my thread......

I will call the shop in Glendale tomorrow (if I remember) and ask them how they open the lights.

shipping for me is impractical,as I need my car daily (including night driving). Might consider driving there, sacrificing 1 day and having them do it. You already have yours cleared, are you unhappy with it? (turn signal light output, legality issue ,???) Would you have the same shop crack yours open again to install these?

subinf

damn thats a long ass drive to get it done

Ka0tik

very interested if the smoked looks like lokis and the cleared looks like the ones in the rj banner

insurance against condensation would be a must

A SiQ TL

Iagree. But as I said can't ship and also cant find local TRUSTWORTHY shop to do this. Would actually prefer to put clear reflectors in, but it will add $100 to whatever it would cost to have done.

Teh Jatt

I had "someone" in NJ do it the first time (while my car was in body shop). I was unhappy with his work because it kept fogging up (my dumbass didn't take out the signal bulb to let the moisture out), so I decided to take the trip to Glendale and have them do it. They repainted them to "shiney black" and as soon as I got back the same light fogged up. I called them and I was told to take out the signal bulb.

Yes I would let them do it again... I don't want to touch the headlights either, also they have done many TLs.

Teh Jatt

yes it'll be something like that although Ron did photochop.
