Default 1995-1997 Crystal Headlight Housings

I remember seeing the "Crystal clear" style headlights/corners for the '95-97 LS400 all over the place a few years ago. Well they seem to have been discontinued and the only set I can find are on ebay for $3279.95.. Not sure if the seller is even serious with a price like that..

https://www.ebay.com/p/DEPO-1995-199...ghts/700400665

Is there still a legit source for these? The recent road neglect/rain/ice/disrepair has shaken my headlights into oblivion (one the internal retainer/shield has fallen off, and the other light has shed it's mounting points completely). I would buy a set of standard lights, but they seem to be over $400 even for factory stuff. I thought I remembered the clear lens lights to be around that much.

I guess in summary, I'm looking for a set of crystal headlights or if I can't track down a set of those, I need some stockers that aren't $400..

ebay sellers put that price to keep their auctions open, as they restock from their suppliers. this deters us from buying but keeps their auctions open and running longer = better sales.
this is a loop hole since ebay rules state you must have the item in possession in order to have an active auction...
if someone were to actually pay for this, they would probably expedite their restock using those funds.

as for the lights you are looking for, key in "eagle eye" on ebay and find another buyer who actually has them in stock. $400 or so price is a good indicator they do have it in stock.

love the supra wheels on the LS!

you can always contact the company that imported them, DEPO. They're based out of southern california, I picked up a set of red/clear/red tails for my old '95 over a decade ago.

I found some by doing a google search. http://www.remixcustom.com/4-hl-lxs49501cr4-1.html says out of stock, but they may get them in soon.

I'm thinking that ebay seller did a typo because I remember seeing some on there about 2 months back for 379.95.

I was lucky to find mine in a salvage yard back in Dec 2015 for abou $110 including the clear bumper lights...I'm kinda annoyed that the corners don't have the same reflection as the headlights (probably due to being plastic) but at least the DEPO ones are glass like OEM and never fade or get hazy like you see on newer cars of today.

Hey!
T4L did you find a supplier/vendor, who has them in stock?
I'm really interested in acquiring a set.

Maybe someone here is willing to sell a set?

I found a couple more vendors listing them and placed an order with the first one, Andy's Auto Sport. They gave me an estimated ship date of May 1, 2018. Assuming that comes true, I'll be glad to wait. I was afraid they were permanently out of production.

Yeah i have seen those. But they don't have fully clear corner lights! I want fully clear lights. There were a set on amazon, but i missed them. (I postponed purchase, because some "trash" decided to steal some of my stuff that I just HAD to replace )

I want these: (but i haven't found them anywhere, ok there is that jzsinternational.com or something, but they ask 750$ for them)
