all this does is clear out the lens so its clear. no different than buying a final konnexxion cover, how is it ugly?

yes it would. but that problem is solved with a nice set of retrofitted HIDs which would be the main incentive to do this mod in the first place hehe.

The first one costs money. The second one only costs you your time. You 240 guys are lucky that there is an aftermarket for your cars. The Camry boys have to custom build EVERYTHING. (Of course, I **AM** a little biased, having owned and tried modding Camrys 😃 )

well if u read through the post you’d know that thats a pic of a used headlmap he tested on to do the write up. if u use a clean NEW headlamp like he suggested the results would be like the aftermarket ones that cost an arm and a leg.

well it should turn out more like this  
 ![http://djhtown.freeservers.com/DIY1.JPG](http://djhtown.freeservers.com/DIY1.JPG)  
so basically a clear lens that looks just like the final konnexxion ones.  
imo not bad, but its a lot of time and u risk fu.cking up your headlights.

To diffuse the light properly and obtain a proper beam pattern?

Clear covers, while they look supersexy, will create a lot of glare and offer really shitty beam dispersion if the shiny metal reflector inside isn’t ribbed/textured to compensate.

That’d be pretty decent, if as Mr.Skinny said you clear out the entire thing, and you retrofit a set of E46 3 series projectors. Mmmm… Hella = t3h PWN! (and t3h expensive 😢 )
