    Clear headlights

    Right then as I've decided against projectors I'm looking at going clear lens route

    Will they improve the light distribution and do I need to change the housings or Can I use my existing housings and just buy the clear lens

    When I had my 97 s70r I replaced them with 2003-4 c70 headlights, with no issues at all. The light was much improved. No idea how it works with hids though.
