hedlight retrofit/ modifying on y33 cima

i have a 1997 infiniti q45 that has ugly faded lenses and whatnot. i figured i would post here and simply ask if anyone knows of a company i ship these out to and have them come back to me crystal clear and retrofitted with leds and projectors? i have seen modified lights online that dont show the ugly lines on the lense itself. just a straight up clear lens, any help would be appreciated.

thanks a bunch

they sell kits for you to wet sand your lenses to clear em up. deleting the lines, you can open em up and sand the lines out, similar to polishing. retrofitting, head over to hid planet and read. I'm big on DIY, so this is my perspective, but I'm sure there are services. hit up OG, I think he offers these kinds of services.

ok i can do them, its not hard to heat it up and take the lense off, im talking about the lines on the inside of the lense itself. can those be polished out? because i have seen lenses without them.

33 flavors, if seen lights like yours before, the smoked ones with projectors... who did this for you? i see they came from japan but is it a company or just comeone who does this on the side

you use a high grit sandpaper to delete the lines. you just have to be careful when you do it.
