Headlight clear reflector strip

Does anybody know where to purchase these clear reflector strip along side the headlight? I have an '06 and plan to do this exact mod to my headlights. Only problem is that I cannot find these strips ANYWHERE! I need just the strips by themselves. Can anybody help me out. I feel helpless in trying to find these simple parts.
(And yes, I've contacted clearcorners already. I sent them an email they say the don't sell only the strip by themselves.)

You can't but just the strip but you can either get a set of 03-05 lights to use for parts, or you can use the lenses that covers lights in a drop ceiling.

Those are reflector lights off the '03-'05 with projectors retrofitted and the clearance strip modified. The '03-'05 have the clearance strip, while the '06+ do not.

I know these are the strips from an 03-05 coupe, but I just wanted to know where I can find them. I know there has to be somewhere or someone who is selling them.

are you talking about the lights LED's ??

I did mine in a 36 led pattern led strip, you can find it on Autolismo.com here
http://autolismo.com/led_strips.html

this is what I did to my headlights, these are 06 projectors modified by me....



















but if you're talking about the plastic strip I would suggest this type of plastic that I used, what it does is it difusses the single led dots and makes it look like one long clean strip of light

Adon, thats exactly what I need and I know exactly where to get it. What were the measurements you used to cut out the strip of plastic? What tools did you use to cut out the strip in the headlight?

dremel all day dude, and a lot of plastic bondo as you can see in the pics, then a LOT of sanding!
Rough measurements at first and then fine tuning all around to get the perfect fit.
the lights took a very long time to do, i kind of rushed it at the end i got very impatient and there are some minor imperfections, but yea it is what it is, shlt wasnt easy to do
