Default How do I clear the headlight corners for my AP1?

I know it has been around but I can't find out how I can clear the orange on my s2000. Is there two different look to it? I saw some with the four lines still attached and some that are completely white. By the way if I do it is it something that would attract cops and I could get a fix it ticket for? Please help I just want to make my s2000 more aggressive and the orange isn't doing it.

You need to get JDM corner lenses which are clear and open up the headlight assy. to install them.

In order to do it you must remove your headlights, bake them in the over and then separate the lens from the housing. Then you can pull out the diffuser (the orange thing)

You have a few options for replacement, you can modify your orange ones like myself and a few other members have done. Link

You can order some JDM clear or smoked from Ricks

Now, the difference about the bars being connected or being smooth is the USDM and JDM differences. The USDM clear has the bumps just like the orange ones that come stock, that is the USDM style. These clears are no longer being made and are getting harder and harder to find.

The ones that are smooth and do not the bars are the JDM clears or smoked as linked above.

As long as you replace the bulbs with an orange bulb so that the light still illuminates an orange color, you will be legal, however check your local laws if you are truly concerned.


Good luck.

That one is mostly about taillights.

This is the real one you want, covers the entire process from start to finish.
