Default Clear Lenses

Does anyone know where to get clear (crystal) headlight lenses? I have a 96 LS400.

Good luck my friend. I'm in the relentless pursuit of perfect lenses for our Lexi vehicles. So far, we have 0 aftermarket headlamp support. Maybe you can have 98 lense remade or fit to your 96? I know those are jewel clear. As my me...I was stuck doing this to achieve 110% better lighting for my BMW X5 retrofit ...

I've searched everywhere. The only solution that someone suggested was, like you said, fit a 98+ headlight assembly. That would be very difficult (and costly?) to do.
Is there a way I can have someone make a pair of custom clear headlights?

I don't know. Ask Jmai22. He mentioned something about a shop in cali that makes molds of lenses for headlamps. PM him.

the shop that i know of is just some sort of plastic shop. its very small. but they said they can make a mold for my headlight lens if i brought it to them for around 1,000 a each side. but after they make the mold i could make as many as i want for a cheaper price.

Making the mold or cast is the most expensive step in producing plastic.
