    bored today, what's your opinion of clear corners?

    I have some spare time today, what's your guys opinion of clear corners on the headlamps? I like the look, but the problem is the fact that it's irreversible.
    Here's a link to Gooseleg's car, which has it done already.

    I think it looks good on the darker colors. To me i do not care enough to bother as the yellow doesn't bug me.

    In my opinion, it technically looks better, but I just don't think it's a change worth investing in. It's unlikely anyone else would notice, so you'd have to do it for yourself...but yes it looks better

    The only investment for me would be a half case of beer and an excuse to spend the afternoon in the garage. I like the look too, I'm just worried about maybe getting bored with it. There's no turning back at that point. Oh well, maybe I'll just leave it alone for now.

    Just do the left one.

    Problem solved, and it will only take one six pack of beer.

    I think I've decided.......drink the 12 pack, and leave the headlights be.

    I like them. Never had the time to do it though. If you end up doing it please do a write up.

    http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext44.shtml

    goosleg posted the link here (Post #30): http://www.rs6.com/forum/showthread....corners&page=2

    They do look sharp but I am not sure this is something I would want to do.

    I think I'd rather try to put in parking lights and offload the "parking light" function from the combo-light (parking + turning). and rewire the combo-light into pure turning light.

    but I'm lazy, so I shall sit on that thought and procrastenate.

    Never got around to it. I drank the 12 pack, but failed to make a decision on the park lamps.

    Pat -- You must have really like the look on the RS600 today to move so fast on that when you got home. I got a "before" picture of the same headlight on your car while we were waiting if you want to go back.

    Charlie's not a big fan of amber markers either.
