I think he thought since you had an 03 your "stock" was with 03 headlights.. Obviouslly you've installed the '06 Bi-Xenons.

How would output be affected? It's the same lens as stock, just clear.

The pt is you get more colorful output. like this



without having to sacrifice output in brightness by still using factory bulbs

Benefit is the clearer lens allows more light out than stock also.

If you dont care about any of that...It just looks pretty when you drive.

Appears to be worth it for just $80. If you've already got your headlights open for paint or angel eyes that is.

Lightwerkz.net has been offering this for about a year now. Adam is running STI lenses in his 06 headlamps and has been for sometime.
