I like the look of the clear reflectors better; feel it makes the headlights look more sleek.

I'm planning to retrofit projectors into a pair of sedan headlights and I think I will make some clear reflectors for them because the orange clashes with the yellow fogs. The orange really clashes with yellow fog tint when the car is parked. It also clashes with yellow fog bulbs while driving, and it bugs the hell out of me when I notice my lights reflecting off store window or a car in front of me. I thought about making yellow reflectors, but that would ruin any changes to the fogs in the future. Still undecided...

I just like the way they look a lot better then the orange/amber reflectors. Just for me I like them better on my spicy red color.

Thanks DePR84!! Thats what i was looking for, for some reason I wasn't typing in the correct search for them on ebay earlier lol.

No worries man. Are you just gonna switch them out or retrofit them at any point?

FYI.
Just a little bit of info to note, the bulbs MAY be different than in North America. I had purchased some standard sedan headlights (from South Korea, same supplier) and while everything fit correctly the headlight bulbs were H7 instead of H11b.
Just wanted to bring this up in case you are using HIDs and already are set up for the H11 bulb.

I'm not really liking them. I was gonna do a straight trade with DPR, but shipping was $100. so we gave up on it. Then my buddy here wanted them, and the day we were gonna do the trade, he hit a deer. so i should have them traded by friday.

That's actually the exact headlight I want. I'm guessing the same limitations would apply though for shipping. I wouldn't really mind paying for shipping. PM if you want to discuss and I'll give you my number.
