Then, what happens when a stone breaks your one-of-a-kind lens that you have so much time invested in? Not smart. This egg is not worth the strain on the chicken.

If you are SERIOUS about doing this, be prepared. It will be harder than keeping that magically disappearing Lambo running properly.

If you're just BS-ing about it, I say it basically can't be done for any reasonable time/effort/money investment.
Well,
I was inquiring, because it seemed like a novel idea at first. Like something that could be done with a little work, and basically a good reward.

I see now though, that it would just be more trouble than it's even worth.

I don't have the time, or very likely, the skills to actually make it happen though.

It just sounds as if it does not pay for itself, in enough of a way, to make the effort worth even the time.

Guess I'll just keep the Euro lights in the car, and hope that someday, someone will actually make the Xenon light kit, for the car..

Thanks for all of your info guys. I was very serious about it, but I was sorta talked out of the whole idea, with what you all told me.

I'm not really all that familiar with the Xenons, to begin with, and the whole thing would have been a very frustrating job, that I really don't even want to be bothered with anymore.

So, I guess it's back to the old drawing board.

Anyone else got a cool, custom idea, to change something drastic, yet still subtle on the car, while still doing something noone else has before....?

By the way, where do some of you guys get those really cool blacked out tail lights, and stuff like that...?

Some guy here has them on 126 I think, but I can't remember who, what, when, or where exactly they came from.
