borrowed this image from a DIY thread



the little lines in the lights, are those there for any real reason, my guess is to spread the light out, but does it really do anything for the light.

reason im asking is because, i figure, if you can sand yellow off a headlight and treat it so it will come out nice and smooth, you might be able to do it to those lines and get a clear lense for the light. yall just lemme know, good idea, bad idea.

btw i wouldnt try this without getting myself a spair set of lights

 

yup, you got it, they are there for a reason, leave them like that...

Those lines are also in the inside of the headlight, if you sand them they will look real shitty....dont bother ruining them

 

i knew they were on the inside, but id say they probably go through the whole plastice, up intill the outside part, ehh oh well, i just skrew that idea

 

the lines are there so oncoming traffic doesn't get as much glare from them. They basically allow the light to exit straight out of the housing, but partially block it from exiting off axis.

 

Because some people hate nipples on their head lights

 

so that's what the nipples are for. Kewl, I learned something.

As mentioned the lines break-up the light. I know you said you weren't going to attempt this but for anyone else thinking about it don't. That lens is <U>glass</U> and will not sand easily. You would be better off just buying some projectors..

Nipples are used for headlight alignment tools
