my headlights are open right now, just waiting for the sti-r lenses to get here. Hopefully tomorrow. I'll do up a DIY for the swap - there definitely isn't one out there for the 37 sedan that I could find.
It's pretty simple, just be careful not to strip the screws holding down the lens. They are extremely tight. The spacer kit that you can order from the retrofit source sucks, I don't recommend it. However, the provided card board spacers worked great. I used 4 for each side.

I made my own spacers from cardboard since mine only came w/ the metal ring spacers and agree, they don't seem like they'd secure the lens very well, cardboard seemed much more secure IMO.
Great write up! I am definitely going to switch out my iron man leds with the SMD's. I would love to know what happened with the STI clear lens
STI lenses is very straight forward too. I'd say its one of the best/cheapest mods you can do to the G. The improvement in clarity is unbelievable. Although after driving the G with the clear lens mod it makes every other car you drive with HID's or LED's look terrible.
Thanks! I'm definitely really anxious to get the STI's installed. The stock beam is very distorted. I'll post some shots of the beam when I get them installed.
Wow this DIY is great! How did I not see this sooner. Even though I've decided to not add any DRLs to my lights at this time, I am definitely using your pictures to aid in disassembly of my headlights this weekend!
