Cleared USDM headlights? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Does anyone have pics of how the USDM headlights look with the amber reflectors removed? I like the look of the Euro/JDM lights but not enough to spend all that money on them.

I found this but I'd like to see some close ups. I'm worried there will be visible mounting tabs/holes in the headlight housing after the reflectors are removed... might look kinda bad.

Thanks!

im not sure with these headlights but i know when i removed the ambers out of my subaru headlights the mounting holes were extremely visible. the holes looked better than the amber tho imo

This guy did it (though also blacked out the whole housing as well).

Yeah, I had already seen that. I'm not interested in blacking them out though, I want to keep the chrome.

It looks like there will be a few holes left in the chrome housing, but because there's a ribbed clear plastic piece that goes over that it might not be so bad. I'd still like to see how it looks before I take my headlights apart though.
