to be more specific... they are used to align the headlights. There are special tools the dealerships have to align them with.

yea barry's right. if you didnt have the nipples, you'd have to go to a shop that aims it for you electronically or something like that. it was on a different post after searching for 'headlight lens'.<P>but i believe i know what you're talking about vizual....the assembly had two hoses behind it that just had some type of tube connected to it. seemed like it was a heatsink or something for heat to dissipate.

im very sorry to inform everyone that the one making the glass lenses for me refuses a group buy. he wouldnt tell me why except because i dont have the right to distribute these things off of him and that they aren't d.o.t. approved/safe/legal for everyone.<P>im sorry for getting people excited about this, but i do recommend that you find your local glass blower/custom specialist to have lenses made for you. they are really worth it. again sorry for the trouble. i should post pics of my lenses on my site soon.

So, while it might improve your illumination, there's still a down side. <P>Of course it won't affect you, unless you get pulled over for it!
