    (2.5") FX-R - Clear Lenses from The Retrofit Source Inc
    Clear lens technology explained by The Retrofit Source Inc

    Fresnel vs. Clear lenses:
    Most projectors come from the factory with fresnel or cloudy optical lenses. These "detuned" lenses never let the projectors perform to their full potential. They put a damper on the degree of sharpness, color, and light intensity produced by the projectors. Some projectors come stock with better quality optically clear lenses, but even these can be improved upon (ie TSX). Think of a projector just like any other original part on your car, of course there will always be an aftermarket performance/aesthetic upgrade available (ie lens swap). A clear lens upgrade is like replacing your intake and exhaust with a high flow setup, but for headlights!

    Fancy for sure! But that's for the OEM infinity projectors, the FXR's are basically infinity projectors with the clear lenses added in

    Gotcha, I wasn't sure if the FX-R had the clear lenses already or not.

    Maybe, but I only like projectors if they're blacked out. And I'm not sure I want black heads on my truck.
