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

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.

Cheers Johnny lad that's spot on thanks [emoji4], I've still got my standard lights from when I changed to Angel eyes so, I only need to get hold of another set if I do it your way [emoji106] nice one man cheers

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]
