FS: Both headlights from 95 SC400
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.

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 **** 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.
