    Yet another idea!!!!

    OK so ive been wanting to clear my corners and do the angel eye mod...... The only problem is that the fluttering in our headlihgts just looks shitty... Sooooo.... Ive been thinking about this idea and i need some opinions. Basically its the same exact concept of getting the yellow off your headlights with sandpaper and rubbing compound. The only difference is how will we get a buffer in our headlights?? Well my idea is to sand the fluttering completely out then take a dremel and tie a buffing pad around the little grinding wheel or something by tie strap to buff it completey. Same concept as a buffer right????? Im going to try this when i remove the front bumper to install the new one that came with my body kit.. If all goes well ill take pictures but in all honesty i have no time to make a tutorial. However i will be willing to assist with my guideance.

    From what I heard it works.. It just takes a long time to sand out all those lines...

    last i remember...thee incredible eric asked for a set of 7G headlights from anyone...im guessing someone sent him a pair already. he was basically gonna experiment with the fluting we suffer from but there has yet to be an update on that project.

    sanding the fluting isn't gonna work. well i should say this. with the lights off, its gonna look nice but with the lights on, the beam pattern will look hoorible because the thickness of the lens won't be consistent.

    now if you were to cut out part of the lens and replace it with something else, that might work.
