Ebay is the best place to buy new, but it's much cheaper to make your own, there's 2 ways by either trying to split 1 pair which is the difficult way or 2 old sets and smash the glass on one and save the back plastic and then heat and cut the plastic back off and save the glass
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I have a set of glass lenses. Would probably break if I posted though haha. But yeah unless you have depos you need two sets. Depos are stupidly easy to split and valeos are impossible.

I tried so hard and just ended up cutting them to bits and salvaged the lenses haha. I have a spare set of lights and a spare set of lenses now [emoji14]

Not impossible but very very difficult without damaging them [emoji38] I've split one pair but using 2 is so much easier and a lot quicker so in my head also cheaper [emoji38]

I'm in Ireland man so wouldn't really trust shipping as they will probably break ( I've seen how couriers handle packages ) probably cheaper just to go to the scrapyard anyway.

Ahhh that's fare enough mate, yeah I have a scrappy like 10 mile away from me can't see him charging loads for 2 lights although the ones on eBay for 40 quid are looking favourable and they say they will be here for Christmas. Might just get them n wrap them up for myself haha [emoji23]
