Can anyone help me on where I can find and buy a set of glass headlights. And how much much would they cost me.

if you buy them from the dealer, they still give you plastic headlights but they are clean, they will get dirty of course though. im having glass lenses made at a glass shop. $40 each lense.

actually im planning to reseal them myself with some type of clear silicone, but if the glass shop is willing to do it for a good price ill let them do it. im just worried about it fogging up inside.

Thanks to all who replied! I'm a dealer at a mazda dealership so I can get new plastic ones for a good price I was just wondering if glass was available and if so where and how much.<P>Dave

I also am interested in alternative solutions to the stock headlamp assemblies. At $250 each , the Europian headlights (with seperate glass lenses)seem to be a good option. If anyone out there knows how to get a pair please let me know.
