No glass for your @ss

But on a more serious note, I wish they existed.

the highbeams are indeed glass -- I've got a rather large shattered fragment right here next to me.

the reason why the MKIV has glass headlights as an option is because the MKIV was sold in Europe.

The SC4/3 wasn't, so hence, no euro glass headlights.

are glass high beams oem? my 93 ones are plastic.. but i've seen people selling glass ones.
if they are oem, then i am assuming they were only available on newer models?

Was it an option? because my '92 has glass high beams(I just checked).

thinking about it, my 93 SC400 seemed like it was plastic, but when broken, it was definately glass.


It doesn't feel like glass when you tap on them, but they're definately glass.
