Oh why dont you try some PIAA hyper whites, i got them in mine and it made a world of difference for 60 bucks rather than like 200-400. Just a thought.

hahahaha....the answer to that is ...NO way different

the only way you'll get that look is to have non-fluted lenses on your sol with a retrofit done with 2003 BMW projectors or such......

PS_ there was a thread on this a while ago.....do a search!

If they mad aftermarket headlamp lenses for the del sol, the retrofit would look super sick.

Instead of spending time designing Altezza's for just about every car made, they need to make some headlamp's for the Del Sol.

well when these get made, its only gonna be the lenses, not a new set of headlights. but i've seen the prototypes and they look pretty promising, no nipples or flutes.

Well when they come out, im buying them for sure!

I wonder if theres anyway to possibly make clear ones out of your stock fluttered ones. Try sanding down the lense until its clear, unless its all the way through the lense? After its sanded down, polish it with mothers chrome polish. Hmm, if I had an extra lense I would try it.

sounds good, but i'm pretty sure it won't work. btw, any idea how much the non-fluted, nippleless lens will be? date when they will be available?
