    Re: Clear Lens

    Do you mean to replace the amber lenses in the corners of the headlights?

    Good luck with that one. I've looked into it. No part number exists. I've had someone check the european ETKA.
    Only way to get them is with the housings.
    If you have adaptive HID's you'll need the $2K pair.

    I have a feeling that's what I'm going to wind up doing. I already have the stealth bulbs. That clear cap would just give it the "finished" look.

    Yeah, he just pops out the amber lens and puts a stealth bulb in it.
    We're talking about the clear lens in the Euro lights, and if that can be sourced. rcoop1 and I want to replace the amber with clear to keep the finished look.

    coop,
    there was a post a couple up about the b6 chassis ones being available & working (same size). I'll call my parts guy on Monday, and see what replacement parts are available from the b6 chassis headlamps.

    Re: Clear Lens

    People usually just pop off the amber lens and leave it at that. You don't need to have a lens there, it would only be for looks. You won't get any condensation without it.

    Re: Clear Lens

    Retro fit is when you take something and put it where it's not supposed to be IMO.

    Like taking xenon (HID) bulbs and putting them in a pair of halogen housings.

    Re: Clear Lens

    Not at all. Look at the word. "Retrofit". Retro, as in the Latin prefix meaning "backwards" or "in past times". It's putting something newer in something older that may not have had it. I would look at putting an RNS-E into a B5 as 'retrofitting' whereas people who talk about putting xenons or an RNS-E into a B7 that did not come with them from the factory is probably a less accurate application of 'retrofit'. Perhaps "trans-fit" might be more appropriate.

    True. Anything going in anyone's ass should be called "trans-fitting"
