Clear lens swap on a morimoto d2s 5.0

[bctileguy]

Hello has any attempted a clear lens swap on the d2s 5.0? I really dislike the blue tinted lens , i was gonna try using a d2s 4.0 lens ? any feedback would be great
or can the AR coating be removed ?
surely i'm not the only person that has these questions lol

Ah interesting, I'd love to have the blue lens. What do you dislike about it? I'd just use a G5-R projector or something if you don't like the blue lens.

i don't like that it warms up the output by around 400-600k ish , i like using 45-50 watt ballasts with Osram cbb's , with the blue tinted lens, it just makes the output a bit too warm for my liking . The Retrofit Source actually sent me a set of d2s 4.0 lenses to try , i was just curious if anyone has tested it yet . if the 4.0 lenses don't work , i'm gonna use glass polish to remove the coating lol

yeah you might be able to grind off the coating from the flat side, kinda like removing the yellow color from IS300 fog projectors. I was actually very interested in the 5.0 projectors with the CBB bulbs to try and get around 5500k output. I went with M-LED 2.0 instead and it's way too blue.

I am wondering if there are any OEM lenses (fresnel/non-clear) lens that will fit the d2s 5.0? Does anyone know the focal length of them?

From the heart of the beast, TRS stated the d2s 5.0 cannot accept any OEM lens or and no fresnel lenses are available. So problem solved. No solve. I did read somewhere else that a lexus lens works, but of course that thread was a dead end.

I'm not sure why you'd want to go fresnel or frosted, they make the cutoff super dull. Did the 4.0 lenses not work? What are the measurements of the 5.0 lens?

[4RunnerMan]

Yes, I want a softer cutoff. Too harsh of a cutoff hurts long distance vision at night with no other lights, especially when hard cornering up a hill. All you get is a crazy bright spot right in front and you cant see up the bend without aux lighting. That is what Halogen is fantastic for but not much else.

The size of the 5.0 was found to be 32.3mm by 3.005 inch, (got my caliper to find exact measurements).

There is a notch in the 5.0 frame that matches the lens edge lip, but I think if I can find an OEM with the same focal, I can just knock back or grind out the dimple from the frame to fit any lens.

*Edit
After a quick look at TRS offerings, it looks like the mazda3/sonata is the closest to it at 33mm by 78mm, but the 78mm is larger around than the 76.3mm although not by much and 1mm longer.
**Edit2
Found OEM sonata for cheap and they have a flat spot on the edge from factory, so the dimple would be a breeze to overcome, but and BIG BUT I'm not sure there is enough room as the 5.0 is tight up against the edge of the frame. Real tight.
