Just wondering but is it possible to remove the fronts of the light housings? if so why not have a special cover made from a material other than glass? can it be done and have good results?

i've tried cutting them open with zero success, mind you that was years ago...but it's way too much hassle than it's worth. Then again, you could clean them and make em look brand new again...THAT would be worth it.

If you want looks, get anything that remotely fits...if you want to see better, (IMHO) just get the J-Spec headlights (H3) and call it a day. No hassle, no fuss. plug and play!!!

As I was standing in front of my car, admiring the beauty of it, it occured to me that there is probably a headlight swap that could be done pretty easily if you are into that sort of thing. I noticed that the lights on the Pro5 look alot like the lights on the IS300. I bet you could swap those in pretty easily, albet without the HID.
Again, not my thing, but I figured one of you guys might be into that....

I've been looking at the mirage headlights and they look like they might be a pretty close fit as well....
