i dont think so. i'll check in the daytime.

illusionstwice, thanks. i'm happy that i'm changing peoples minds about doing blacked out retrofits because its not the only way to go. i've had a person not even notice that i had retros until i pointed it out to him today.

remember, the headlights are brand spanking new. maybe the reason why it doesnt seem like there's a lense there.

i bought the lights from hondapartsdeals and had them shipped to lightwerkz.

i'm gonna try and get plexiglass cutouts for my OEM fogs that have a crack in the glass.

hmm that sucks but it's not about the fogs it;s about the headlights that I love nicely done

(needs halos)

The Canadian models come with 4L tanks instead of the 2L tanks that the American models come with.

Tim, you can kinda see behind the shroud from the top outter corner but its hard to see if you're not using a flashlight. still i like it.

**Tim** · 04-27-2008, 04:42 PM

I wasn't trying to be overly critical at all. I was just curious. I have no retrofitting skills whatsoever, but I assume that there's a reason why that top corner of the shroud wasn't trimmed ever so slightly to tuck underneath the natural curve of the existing reflector.

i dunno. i'll ask Caeser if something like that is possible.
