What the man above said, plexi glass will do the job. You will also need a silver coated amber turn signal bulb or SwitchBack LED bulb. other wise it'll always have that amber look to it
Also in 03-05 housing you can use any projector 2.5" lens

Clearance strip is only in 03-05 reflector type housing. 06+ projector headlights dont have them

No you dont, two ways to change bulbs, either from wheels wells or by removing front bumper. Once you have access to the back of the headlights there will be a cap behind each bulb, Twist off and replace, Pretty straight forward.
However to install CCFL tubes, rings or LEDs inside the housing you do have to open the housing.

I'm planning to take off the bumper and remove the headlights today but for some reason the images no longer show up with the original DIY write-up. Any ideas/alternative instructions?

Having the same problem. I have a Oracle halo kit for my 06 coupe. I'm trying to find someone to install them. He asked if I can take the headlights off myself then give it to him. Is there anyway to get those pictures?

its pretty easy, just drop the front bumper and then there are 3 or 4 bolts holding the headlights in. remove the bolts, pull the headlight up a little, and disconnect the wire harness

Not asking for a "VHS" or "Super8" of the operation

But pictures (e.g. jpg, etc) are still fairly standard. Are you saying that because the original post was so long ago, pictures have been removed or deleted? Do I need to upgrade to premium in order to see pics?

Original poster must have removed the picture from their original hosting location. So they are no longer shown.

This is why people should use the built in photo wizard to house photos for DIY's and such.

back in those days the system was slightly more retarder than it is now. So hosting pictures on driver was not always an option.

That's true, there are other threads about this but I could get detailed photos of this procedure when I pull a g apart next month.
