bmx9854 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Is there any way to get clear headlight lenses for a 2 bulb ('95+) 850? I got new s40 projectors that I want to install into my exsisting headlights but I want to be able to see the projector and I don't want to drop 300 beans on jewels. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I forgot who but you can contact someone on the forum that sells replacement jewel lenses. Or you can do what I did and deflute plastic lenses: Costs about $50 for two plastic lenses and about 2 hours to sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nari Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 defluted lenses in front of the projectors looks way better than clear lenses.. thats my opinion.yes its a PITA but worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I agree that defluted is a really unique look and when well done, it looks best. But defluting is not fun.I have both, I've gone back and forth 3 times already and I can't decide which works best on the lights I built. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx9854 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've cut the housing, painted the low beam and border black, now how do I secure the projector to the housing? If anyone has pictures of the back of the housing that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
