US and Euro lenses $195 a set. Same price

These are multi port injected lenses. What does that mean?
THEY ARE NOT GLUED TOGETHER !!
Yes, they will not crack apart or have ridges like others we have seen.

The price includes the right and left lenses with the lens to housing seals.

The self adhesive housing to body seals will be 1/2 off if you wan them.

The only drawback with this method of injection is that on the edges the hot resin melts the previously injected resin, so the edges are not a prefect line. You can see this on the edge of the clear easiest. The edges do stick out a little further we are reworking these right now to minimize this. Pictures to follow.

Here's the ones Matt just fitted to his car.

Shut up and take my Money! (again for the 20th or so time)

I'm in for one pair of Euro style lenses, no seals needed as I've already changed those on my housings.

I'm in for a Euro set with housing to body seals.

Posted by: Optimusglen Aug 10 2017, 08:21 AM

Oh man, these look great. I wish I could justify the expense when I have two adequate sets of lenses already and a 6 engine that needs money and time.

Posted by: HIPPIEKILLER Aug 11 2017, 11:28 PM

I'm in for European lenses also.

What are the particularities of French ones??

Posted by: Mikey914 Aug 11 2017, 11:34 PM

Color is more grey, and not consistent

Posted by: Wyvern Aug 11 2017, 11:39 PM

They look great.
I cant see the issue you talk about with the heating / melting ... Is this something that will be fixed and or is it something that can be "cleaned" up by a sharp knife or file ?

I actually think the seal material you use for the tail lights is to hard, mine dont seal because of it.
the factory seals are much softer.

Posted by: Mikey914 Aug 11 2017, 11:47 PM

It's actually an imperfection in design. Will require retooling. A section is slightly too large and makes it sit a little farther out. Honestly I think the AA ones do this too.
I'm just telling you. You can make the decision.
If you are a CW and have OCD, I'd say wait another year when it's revisited. I can say they will be more expensive.

You have a good daily driver to a driving restoration you'll benefit from lenses that will not break apart and are actually smooth. It's not lithe casual observer could tell. And with the extra seal we are including it will help Keep water out.

The material we used is closed cell foam instead of sponge. Yes harder, but not holding water in. It's a trade off. Ours are easier to install in that the self adhesive backing holds it on the housing. It's really easy to have it fold over on itself without (same with the OEM)
Does help with installation.

I thought they just smelled bad

Posted by: Mikey914 Sep 13 2017, 03:35 PM

These are in stock and I can start shipping out. Sorry, it took me a little while to get this all straightened out.

I have PM'd all that signed up.
As far as the melting I discussed. It's minimal and you may not even notice, but I disclose all that so you are not surprised.
Here is some of the worst I've seen and it's not really in the viewing area.

These will not split apart like The other Brand X or should a say "A"
