WTB Euro/clear headlights

I know these are scarce and I'm willing to pay top dollar or trade things like, a turbo, a COMPLETE kit of a working (and warrantied) digital climate control. If you have a set, let me know if there is something we can work out. Thanks guys, Chris

You and me both dude! I've got a WTB thread in here for the same thing. Lol

Good luck to both of us

Well this is probably another long shot, but perhaps we could convince whoever made them before to do a small run of a few sets. It would almost certainly require the small number of people interested to pay a ridiculous amount, but it sounds like we are both already willing to do that for used ones. Do you know which company originally produced them?

i'm going to guess it was made in china. i emailed a few places on that alibaba site and nada. i think for them to even consider making them you need to buy like 100 of them...and i mean 100 pairs.

you guys thought about making them out of plastic?...vac forming?

The thought had crossed my mind, but frankly I've never done anything like that and have no idea what the cost might be. It would also be my second choice as glass doesn't yellow, fade or scratch like plastic. Having said that, if the cost is reasonable and the end product fits and looks as it should then I'm just as willing to support plastic lenses.

ive seen a few 3rd gens before at junkyard here with the clear headlights, if i come across a set again i can grab them

almost think i should have sold mine instead of giving them away when my car got scrapped, sounds like somebody would pay a grand for them

Does anyone know of a place that does vacuum forming and have any idea what this might cost?
Does anyone else know what the name of the company that made those clear lenses, or the name on the package?
