The lights from tornactive are not OEM. They are aftermarket clear lights. Just clear your own and save money.

Dude check out my ride, I've got a set of DIY clears that I painted black. They would almost certainly match a NBP car close enough that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Don't spend money on something that you can do yourself easily and cheaply. Clearing lights is way to easy and the opportunity cost of just buying them is way out there. Even a novice DIY'er can do it. True, you'll be wary the first time you pull the bumper off but it's no biggie. Just follow the DIY instructions and you'll have it done in no time. For the paint, just use Plasti-Kote Black, worked perfect for me.

guys..i want to buy it..what matters? i got money for that and i want it..eh?
the reason im gonna buy ones from them is that i might get bored of cleared one later so that i can changed them again..some ppl would say then "put the amber pieces back"..well..i would spend $150 for that..i dont wanna ruin my stock ones..some ppl would say then "why do u ruin them? u can do that really easily and clearly"..well ppl always make mistake and so do i..
and the main reason that im gonna buy them is because of those tiny holes located where the amber pieces used to be clicked in..when i see my friend's cleared headlight i found that when i first looked at it and i thought thats really ugly..some ppl say they are not noticable but they are in my eyes..so i dont want them..
anyway..i kno some ppl feel bad and sad on my decision but its my decision..i need it..
thanks for the comments and advices tho..appreciate them..

go ahead and do whatever u like man, but I DIY my headlights without any problems, if u really think that the tiny holes are ugly, then get the one you like from the aftermarket.

he's got a point though. you might want to keep the stock ones stock so they can be put back on if/when you decide to sell your car...

if you cleared urself, you can put it back on if u decided want to sell your car, just keep that 2 orange pieces. the other thing is you gains the experience by doin that, to know your car more, like taking parts out and in.....just save ya some $.

There arent any problems with Tornactives lights. Make sure you seal them up just to be sure tho. They fit like OEM i have seen some installed.
