Not sure how much they charge but they did it on my buddy's 1.6EL and it turned out pretty good

RPM Racing or the clearing of the lights? Basically they took out the amber reflector in the corner lense......sounds simple but I couldn't do it:rofl:

Ooooooh K. I misunderstood. I thought they take regular plastic lenses and make them clear....I was like woh kickass...and now I feel dumb and used like a cheap xenon bulb.:banghead: ;)

Its different for all cars, but a lot of the times "clearing out headlights" involves drilling a small hole or opening up the headlight, and using a bunch of tools to break and smash the amber part, then cutting them into little pieces, and pulling them out!!

Its kinda scary but I guess a lot of people do it. haha

Sometimes they sand away at the amber part until it's been taken off and then they spray a light silver spray to make it completely clear. RPM does an awesome job with this.

That's exactly what I did. Last year nobody made aftermarket corners for my car. Now there are a couple options. :banghead:

It was hours and hours of pain with a dremel. :D
