How thick is the whole lens? Taking off 1.25mm from something which looks to me not to be more than a couple of millimeters thick doesn't really improve the structural integrity of the piece.

Btw, thanks to Fred's advice of just sanding down the yellowed lenses with 1200 grit sandpaper, etc., etc., my headlights now look factory new again! Still contemplating the HID upgrade. Not sure if I like the modern look or the old style better. Decisions, decisions.

The bulk of the lens (main portion) is 3mm thick. The turn signal area is just over 6mm thick, so plenty of room for error (not that I make mistakes )
