    Fog lights lenses

    Has anyone found a new source for lenses for our fog lights? It seems the only things I can find are OEM fogs or ebay fogs, no lenses.

      It seems they've been sold out for awhile now.

        seems they do not respond to e-mail either. There is a guy on e-bay who sells lenses from Latvia I think. Can anyone comment on those?

            These are what I have. They're really expensive for what they are in my opinion. But since there's no where else to get them from, I spent the $50 (I think?) on them.

            I think the fit is fine, but others have had trouble with mounting the old gaskets to the new lens. I just used silicon adhesive. The sides and bottom fit inside the valence hole, but the top edge of the gaskets sit behind the valence on my car. My valence could be bent though, so who knows.

            I think it's a million times better than cracked glass.

                I can't find a way to view my purchase history on eBay. I just stumbled across them while doing a search for "E30"

                    Just testing the waters here - if I could find someone to make glass lenses, what would you pay for them? I know I need lenses for my E30, and I'd probably pay $75-$90 for a pair of glass ones. You think I could sell a ton of them at that price? I still need to find out what a batch would cost to manufacture, so I don't even know if that covers the cost. I'd just like to get an idea of what would be a reasonable price to charge, so I know if it's doable.

                    I'd have them made in the USA, and they would be duplicated from a set of Late Model OEM donor lenses....

                      Have you checked pelicanparts? I know they have early model lenses, but I'm not sure about late model
