of course it's possible, but you're risking a lot with that. they'll be foggy when you get done too. might wanna consider OEM clear lenses all around. that gen. hatch loox goofy for some reason with clear's. i'd do front blinkers, and leave the rest bone. peace

I did it to my civic, and it looked cool....
but as the guy said, it'll be foggy especially rainin day.

I did mine and mine haven't fogged up yet. Depending on what headlights you have you can or cannot do it.

They won't fog up as long as you use good silicone to seal it, let it dry for 24 hrs.,use another thin coat of silicone and LET THEM SIT INSIDE FOR AT LEAST another day to COMPLETELY dry.

Preparation is the key to no fogging. I resealed mine up with windshield sealant.

you can always buy the jdm headlights for $470:)
but i cleared mine out, and i have no problems with them fogging at all. (except, i have to take them back off and clean the inside of the lense because i got finger prints on it before i put the lenses back together.) coughIDIOTcough!! :)
if you have time and patience.....it will come out just fine.
good luck

You can clear them out and seal them back together with a buddy in about 3 hours. I was rushing to put my last headlight back on and didn't do a good job sealing it. Now it has condensation whenever it rains. :(

Yep this is something you don't want to rush. Make sure you set aside about 15 hours to do this - for the paint to dry, sealant to dry, etc...
