Headlight lenses

I don't have my housing back yet from being modified. When they come back I need to modify the steel rings to fit the carbon inserts. Then I may need to modify the carbon  inserts to fit the housings. Now it seems I may have to modify the lenses to fit the modified inserts and housings. Then it'll either all look lovely, or I'll end up throwing the lot in the bin and getting bummed on a set of new ones 😄

Sounds like you are having fun 🤦🏻‍♂️ I have lenses but need to give them a proper refurb but don’t have the time at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hardly anyone does headlight refurbishment anymore 😢

Because its a ball ache. I'm still doing the odd one. My painter is the main issue. He takes fking ages.

I'm going to offer a few last refurbs. Got a few more sets of rings to sell before tooling gets handed to their new owner so thought I'd offer a refurb at the same time.

Ah cool. Well. I'm adding a vent in the back now too to help fogging.

I might starting painting them myself again now weather is warmer.

Bit difficult doing matt when it's cold, can cause paint to go milky.

When my housings come back I'll update this thread regarding the fitment. These are the facelift version of Nengun's replacement Behrman headlight lens.

If you send me one I can test fit it for you, I currently have 10 open sets of facelift lights and 15 oem sets that are still sealed.

Thanks for the offer, but I’d prefer to test fit them to the housings they’ll be eventually bonded to.

My housings are with Harry at the moment having some upgrades fitted. He’s had them for a while so I’m hoping he’ll get around to them soon amongst the other orders he has in the last headlight group buy.

Hi Harry 😅 Yes, I only knew mine where in the queue. Great to hear they are getting seen to soon. Feels like I have some fitting challenges to deal with when they are back but it’s all the fun right? 😉 Have a nice time in Turkey mate!

Thanks mate and yeah, we only learn from mistakes 🙌

I’ve reassembled my headlights and found these new lenses fit perfectly into the housings.

The new lens on the left side by side with the old lens on the right I could see no difference. They have every notch and screw hole that the OE lenses have.

Has anyone tried these?

Before anyone says “just buy new” I have carbon inserts to go in a set so don’t want to get a new set just to split them. I also know that the carbon inserts aren’t to everyone’s taste.

I’ve used carbon inserts from Whifbitz in mine recently and they needed a little bit of edge shaving to fit into the lenses. I also had Harry’s projector mod done for the high and low beams and the inserts needed modifying to fit those. I also have Noz’s headlight steel rings and they needed modding to fit the carbon inserts! 😅 But I got it all put together eventually.
