It's simply night and day when comparing them with the old ones. I think it'll be a while before I get over how bright they are! No more driving with the brights on all the time tho, that's for sure!

Re: Lookit da purdy's!!! Reply #4 – December 06, 2004, 05:09:38 PM They do look a hell of a lot better than the yellowed ones, that's for sure.Not the same type of headlights, but my '86 had a pair of the old sealed beams that had tiny holes in them.. and they had clouded up pretty badly. (both passenger-side lights were messed up) Replacing those made a world of difference in the appearance of the front end, I thought. Now I just need to clean up the lights of the '88 and of my mother's ZX2. (ten years newer, but look almost as bad) At least she has the fog/driving lights to help make up for any loss of output.

Re: Lookit da purdy's!!! Reply #9 – December 07, 2004, 01:05:12 PM Those are niiiice. I never understood why Ford just didn't make the lenses out of glass like Honda did with their Accords in the early 90's. One of my co-workers has a '91 Accord and the headlights are just as clear as the day they were made because they aren't made of cheap plastic. Quote Selected

One of my co-workers has a '91 Accord and the headlights are just as clear as the day they were made because they aren't made of cheap plastic.I'm still curious if I could get a mold done from somewhere that could be used to make some glass lenses. I need to call around and see what is feasible for a fair price. I can see it now; "we'll only do it for a minimum order of $2000" :wtf:I've seen people manage to get custom molded fresnel lenses from shops so it can't be too much more difficult to get a place to do headlights - and they were relatively cheap for being a custom mold (larger lenses were needed so people could use lcd's larger than 17" in DIY projectors).

Re: Lookit da purdy's!!! Reply #12 – December 07, 2004, 04:15:01 PM seems I can't find more than one place locally that deals with glass, and they only do flat and automotive glass. In Washington, I found a company that does cast glass, but I'm waiting for a reply on whether they are capable of doing this and at what strength the glass can be. Quote Selected
