OEM lights are glass lens, most replacment lights are glass lens. Im trying to find a replacment light that has a plastic lens. I was wondering if the Ebay lights had glass or plastic lens. IDK any way to cut the thickness of the glass lens for under 20.00.

As if my headlight was on. a little bulb pertection but some air can flow threw

he just wants to order some on ebay and scrap them for the plastic lense.

All the clear headlights are going to be plastic.

Who's too retarded to... SEARCH!

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=cle....c0.m270.l1313

WTF!!? 6 (or 5) headlights?

6 (or 5) shitty headlights don't equal two good headlights.


Good luck with your headlight mod... FYI, bulbs will explode if a drop of water hits them when they are hot.

I don't think he is trying to put a bulb in there, I think he wants the lens to finish off his intake duct & a plastic one is easier to cut than a glass one. Or maybe he might be using a bulb placed offset to the hole.

I asked they sent me a link and in the link it said:

Comes with day time running city lights with high quality glass lens. Unlike other
cheap plastic lens head lights, these will never turn yellow.

The picture i posted would be the actual headlight. The circle is left there to protect the bulb. I still want a fully functtional headlight. i dont drive my car in the rain so the holes being in the headlight are fine. I have a s5 front bumper, either your lip or a s5 one. thinking s5 so we dont look like identical twins.

I was so upset after paying $65 for shipping for a lip that I decided to make my own

Did you cut the center section out of the s5 bumper when you put your lip on? i havent spotted one without the center cut out but of course i haven't looked to hard either.

when I put my corksport lip on I did back to back testing with and without the center section, cooling greatly improved without the center section.
Back to back meaning same road and within a few minutes of each other
