there's tons of headlight threads on here and ive looked at pretty much all of em.

i was wondering if anyone had those black pop ups with a clear lens?

like the housing behind the bulb is black but you can see into it because of the clear lens.

i saw a pair in a project car mag. thought they'd look nice.

anyone know of any pictures?

i would like to see this as well.

smoke headlight housing with clear lenses on an s14 think it would look like sex.

i think it would give a sleeker look to a usually not so sexy headlight.

i love popups over silvia lamps, but no one really does anything with them but yellow them or go supermade style.

get creative people!

I've seen those in a few threads not too long ago. I'm not gonna dig it up for you though.

They look decent but I'm sure they're horrible at night.

so the reflector would be painted? How the heck is the light going to reflect off it so you could see at night? Hid bulb...sounds like a terrible idea to me. Projector retrofit is a different story.
