Hello everyone, I just picked up an '02S last week and I'm making a spreadsheet of all my planned upgrades and the costs and could use some advice. While I try to avoid ever cheaping out on stuff there are some mods that can be accomplished for less cost and divert those funds to another project.
I have a question on modifying the headlights that I just want to check if I understand them correctly. I'm looking to see if I can get clear HID's for less than the $1600 for the standard Litronics.
Here is what I'm thinking.
Take my stock headlights and change to this clear triangle. $50

Pull out the amber filter. Free

Buy the HID retro fit kit. $369
HID retro fit
Is this possible or am I overlooking something? As to removing the amber filter in past vehicles the lights simply use tabs and silicone and I've baked them to soften the sealant, open them and remove the filter. I plan to pull my headlights this weekend to try, but searching here I did not see anything on baking them. Is this possible with these lights?
Thank for any tips or advice.
Cheers,
Rick
