Glass headlights?

[MMeier]

Anyone know if someone offers an actual glass replacement headlight assembly for our 3 rd gen trucks?

Nope…I imagine that the compound curvature of the headlight lens shape would make it prohibitively costly.

If you are looking for replacement, I recommend the TYC Units, I have them and they are really well made in good Quality.
Other then most of this china crap they are from Taiwan.

Our wonderful government outlawed GLASS headlamp lenses around 2000-2001. They gave us these CRAPPY plastic lenses that if left outside very long turn opaque and you can't see anything at night.....But at least, YOU won't get a sliver in your finger when you crash into something!

OK no reason to replace if they are fogy. You are not going to believe this but it works. Grab some bug spray with deet in it wipe the head light and it's like new. Before you say ya ya try it you will be amaized.

Where / When did you purchace your TYC units? I browsed for a minute on Amazon for these and saw what appeared to be a couple of different versions. You wouldn't still have a part
number, by chance? I agree completely about the China crap. Some of their stuff is good- most is not. You can't rely on their quality control.
I rode the ferry across the Bodensee back in '75 with my parents and a '68 Mustang. Der Schweiz is a beautiful country for sure! Thx in advance, Rob

Skorski:
Do you just rub the deet on and you are then good to go or do you need sandpaper as in a lot of the over the counter treatments? How long does it last? I have tried three over the counter treatments on different vehicles and they all look great for a few months. Then the haze returns and I am right back where I started, except for a thinner wallet. steve whalen

Just rub the deet on and it is clear. You got to see it to believe it.
