oldschool,
Here's a cute trick for you to check out in this thread.

http://www.hdforums.com/forum/softai...-got-this.html

If they can really copy any design, maybe they can copy your design on to a relacement (smooth maybe?) headlight lens?

Looks more like it was etched into the metal with a CNC machine.

Yea the headlights do look nice, but I wonder how one would hold up to a hit from road debris or rocks?
Seems to me that the etching would give it a ready made fracture point.
If you have ever cut a piece of glass you'll understand exactly what I mean.

I would have to see "how" its done, cut or sandblasted to know for sure.
If its cut, as I suspect, it may be a bit too easy to crack for my taste.
