There was a thread here just weeks ago where a guy posted who he bought his from. I got mine at the same place. I honestly don't remember the site's name, but the owner is a super cool guy to work with and the lenses are very good quality. I spent a lot of time analyzing their clarity the day I got them and was very impressed. They are water clear and very well made.

I will be starting a thread later this week with pics of OEM vs. clear output using OEM bulbs. I had added spacing to my OEM lenses when I had mine apart last time, to get a diffused color band, so I will revert it to OEM spec for comparison. My clear's will have spacing too and should give a razor-sharp colorband.

I have MANY MANY of these clear lenses. I thought we already talked about that? Or maybe that was someone else who loved there Z??? Anyway, I have them if you want a pair. The thread in my sig will show you the clarity of each. On page 34 or 35 I think??

I think i might have asked you actually...i think it was when you were trying to see how many people would be interested in a 07+ headlight groupbuy and i think i asked about the clear lenses and never got a reply...oh well. I"m still interested in them subrwho, just pm me a price because im probably going to do the other headlight this weekend or whenever i could get the lenses..

Can you switch out those amber LED's to something clear without taking the assembly apart?

No, im affraid not. the l.e.d's are hooked up to a circut panal inside the houseing and probably a 1/4" of wire rod between the panal and the bulb. im not a circutry wiz but i think either the led's need to be swapped and saudered or different resistors and capacitors need to be swapped out on the circut panal to change the colors of the led's.

Don't worry, I'll link you to the thread once the car is fully done and ready.

I miiight put them on this weekend if I can bang out the dent in the hood to make them fit, but I might just wait until she goes into the body shop.

PS - Left you the trader rating!

If you go to a hobby store, you can get 6mm wide masking tape from Tamiya. Hope that helps...
