Clear Lensed, Facelift Headlights with Stainless Headlight Rings

So, as I continue clearing out my collection of car stuff I've come across enough spares to make a set of Facelift headlights.

While also having a set of clear lenses.

These lenses, are the type where you cut the fronts out the lens, then bond in the new formed clear lenses. Due to the attachment process, I'm going to paint around the edge of the lens. 

Now, when you don't do this, you can see the internal features of the lens. So I began doing it just before I stopped doing it as a business.

I have some examples of what clear facelift lenses with rings looks like (notice the minor bump features along edging of lens):

What the hell does a black line look like?  I hear you say....

Well, I painted the line on my own headlights. To hide the bumpy features the line was added. Which look like this;

It's really subtle. Most would hardly notice it. But due to the edging of the lenses being bonded, you need to cover that up.

But you'll basically be getting this as a result, just with the black line.

I'll need to gets inserts painted. I have rings to hand, as have a few last sets to sell.

I think £600 is a fair price. 

If anyone is interested, I'll accelerated getting them put together.

Did these ever get made? I just thought of this thread while polishing my candle lanterns.

I still have them, I need to build them to be honest, value of lights seems to be going up maybe I'll use them as a pension fund 😄
