Clear?? I thought you meant clear as in no color. I like them though, did you remove the clear inner pieces?? I need to polish mine.

I think they're going to look like butt at night, but that's just me.

I think you should scavange a shield or something from another light to block the bulb and do the reflector in a more chrome finish than the silver they are.  That way you won't be seeing just the bulb when it's on.

It's going to look kind of half-done the way you have it.

Yeah I don't like it.  I don't like it when people do that to the 87 88 Cougar lights either.  It looks like something is broken rather than a modification.

I pulled mine apart and painted that Chrome paint on the reflector part made my lights seem alot brighter.  Looks good but how do the look at night?
