Here's the thread I said I would make yesterday. The pics below should help people discern what clear lenses look like compared to stock projectors. I will be posting more pictures once these headlights are finished.

I don't believe I need to caption which is which

Incorrect. The projector lens on E60s are 3", so this will replace any lens that are 3". The projector on LCI halogen are similar, if not the same as the projector on the xenons, so I don't believe there's a difference there.

And this is actually not for my headlights that I am doing this to so far... it's JR's!

It will make the cut off clearer and probably brighter.
