Hello Guys!

I want to change my Juliet lenses! I know I need a T6x60 torx screwdriver, but what more??
I can buy the replacement lenses in any retailer or I must order in Oakley by phone?
And then, how do I use the screwdriver? Can someone teach me step-by-step?? I don't want to break my Juliets in the process, that's why I'm so worried about!

Thank you! I'm waiting for the help!

See ya!

You won't break them, just make sure you have a high quality screw driver so you don't strip the head of the screw. Take out the screw in the orbital and open it up, and the lens should be free to take out.

Another tip is to search through the entire collection of threads, there is a wealth of information there, including changing of Juliet lenses and much more.

Actually having the T6 is the all important first step. The other steps are pretty common sense. Some have reported needing to use abit of force to get the lenses out but not all will experience that problem. Work on a clean surface so you don't cause harm to the lenses or lose the washer.

The first thing i do is set my juleits on a hard surface, upside down with the earstems pointing away from me. Then you just insert the screwdriver and undo them, after you've got the screw out its a simple matter of pooing the old lense out and then popping the new on back in. Make sure you dont drop teh little black grommit inbetween the two sections of frame, Then just screw them back together and away you go!

Hey guys,
Just wanted your opinion on 2 things ...
Which lenses do you think look the best aesthetically on the carbon and polished Juliets? (choose from lenses available on O.com so no 24K or Slate, etc.)

I currently have G30 on the polished and planning to get the carbon variation. So far, I'm really digging the look of carbon and a really yellow fire. As for the polished, I have no idea. Thanks!!

Why limit yourself to the stuff available on O.com? The oo blue looks excellent in both carbon and polished frames. It's not hard to find. The slate also looks great in polished and isn't hard to find.

On a black frame like Carbon, I'd go for a vibrant color to make it pop. On a silver frame, I'd probably end up with a more neutral lens, or a lighter one. Carbon/Fire would be a nice choice.

Diego,

Try Oakley.com or E-bay for lenses.

Couldn't agree more. Ruby would be even better.

With Carbon, I can recommend Gold Iridium and Ice Iridium. With Polished, Ice goes really well with it...looks quite exotic and the Ice lens pop like nothing. It is a rather "young" looking combo however. Black Iridium is also awesome too with Polished and creates a really mean, ultra shiny combination, and yet is still classy and can go with everything.
