VA FS: Both headlights from 95 SC400

MongooseGA · 10-08-09, 07:13 PM

I decided the other day to deline the projector portion of my lenses. Apparently I'm not very good at it and I'm just going to buy another pair of lights out of a salvage yard.

Currently, the lights are disassembled. This would probably be a good buy for someone wanting to completely deline the entire lens. The defects in the lenses can be corrected if you want to sand everything down but I didn't want to do it, nor did I feel like doing it.

Details:

Lenses were clear. Never cloudy or yellowed. I've pulled them apart a few times before and they always stayed lightly sanded and buffed on the outside. There are some somewhat deep sanding scratches inside the lens, and a few little lines from a dremel tool (all will sand out)

The chrome pieces are perfect. I've never done anything to them other than wipe them clean.

The rear housing parts are somewhat warped from the baking, but nothing that affects the integrity. One of the screw tabs is broken and the vent tubes are off. I've never had an issue with the lights getting condensation in them and I wash the car 2-3 times a week, leaving the car outside full time. A few of the black rubber gaskets have lost their adhesive but that's a simple fix to reinstall them.

The projectors are perfect. I'm not including the wiring associated with any of the lights.

I realize the going rate for a pair of lights is ~$200. I'm going to ask $125 plus shipping.

Can get pictures tomorrow of everything.

I'm in Frederick, MD and my chrome pieces inside are messed up and I've been looking for some perfect ones.

Are you willing to part them out?

Have you ever sanded the outside of the lens and removed the UV coating or just the inside?

MongooseGA · 10-08-09, 07:34 PM

Not really willing to part out unless someone else chimes in and wants everything else.

I've sanded the outside of the lens many times. I'm a bit anal and never liked to see them get cloudy. Honestly, they've never been any worse than most of the nicer looking cars here on the forums. I bought the car from the original owner who garaged it year round, and only had 40,000 miles in 2005. The lights were still clean and clear.

Which bridge? Bridge tunnel or the Chesapeake Bay bridge?

I've gone through the bay bridge maybe 3 times in the 15 years I've lived here. Damn $13 toll to go through.

From here... Both bridges.

Chesapeake Bay bridge to get from here to where I was staying in Cape Charles and the bridge tunnel to get to VA Beach. Ate lunch at the Raven.

Sorry they're not the best pictures. I used my camera but I don't really know how to use it. Maybe it was on a weird setting.

MongooseGA · 10-11-09, 11:07 AM

Bump.
