It's not an overlay. Those are old style. used to be pretty popular for a while. I don't think anyone makes those any more. My wife rocks those on her 96 hatch.

I feel scammed when I fall into a thread like this. I expected some super clean OEM lenses.

Have you tried EBAY? those look like CHINA specials

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=150487724121


You can take yours apart and spray some light blue enamel paint, or maybe some headlight tint paint

You'll need a hairdryer to remove the lens cover (some people put them in the oven) not a great idea

Good luck with it

Honestly, it looks like he opened them and wiped gas on the inside of the housing and allowed it to dry.

It looks like a petroleum based substance because most only petroleum substances will change like this.

EDIT. Or maybe soap, much like how a bubble does.

They're ion headlights. Seriously, that's what they called them.

They were popular around 2003-2006 or so. They were alllll over eBay.

I never really liked them much, but there was a really cool guy on ClubCivic a few years back who had them on his blue Si. But he's gone now and I don't know what happened to the car. :'( RIP Shane.
