Default retrofitted crx headlights???

has anyone done this before?
ive been reading up on it and so far my experiments have proven a fail.
ive tried using projector headlight housings + fish eye lense but the glass for the stock crx headlights really kill the intensity of the lighting.

so can anyone give me any ideas of some retrofitted crx headlights???

I had retro headlights on my hatch for a while, but swapped them out cause i didnt like the way they looked or performed.

i used TL hids and projectors but the stock headlight glass scattered the beam anyway.

havent i read that lexus projectors can be retrofitted? either way the pattern on the housing does some how affect the lighting output, how about concentrating the beam pattenr with smoked housing?

Buy some Ebay crx headlights with the clear plastic cover. Then just switch you glass with the plastic cover from the ebay headlights.

but the glass just masks the beam from the projectors so its not very bright at all

I remembered this article I read like 4 years ago in honda-tuning, and found it for you... They did retro's in an old RL acura. But what they did is they removed the inner texture from the plastic lens just in a square, so the beam could come through, but still have a mostly factory appearance. anyways this would work perfect with a set of ZC headlights, since they have the plastic lens with inner texture
