Does anyone know where i can buy glass lense headlights with black and chrome housings?
Option Racing on amazon had them but my order cancelled and it shows unavailable now. Every other set that are glass lense are the chrome housings.
Any help is appreciated!

Been searching for about 40 mins now, and I found one with the glass lenses. Sadly, it doesn't have the black chrome. Anyways, here's the results I came up with:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANZO-111100...ash=item1e7f70d1e0:g:sXoAAOSwaNBUffJQ&vxp=mtr

EDIT: Are these what you're looking for? http://www.amazon.com/CHEVY-C10-88-98-SMOKE-HEADLIGHT/dp/B00CNVRJCG/ref=sr_1_114?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1462078181&sr=1-114&refinements=p_4:Option+Racing . I'm guessing that those are the exactly the same as the ones that would go on any other GMT400. It says that they have 2 in stock.

Those Anzos are definitely not glass lenses, they don't do anything in glass to my knowledge. Only ones that look like they might be are that first ebay link with the all chrome housings.

Thanks for looking haha. But there are several chrome headlights with glass lenses. Im hoping amazon gets more in stock maybe. And if not, how hard is it to seperate the lenses? Might just do a lense swap.

I wouldn't assume any glass lenses would directly swap over to a plastic housing, especially if the housings are from different brands.

Also something to keep in mind about glass lenses. No telling what kind of glass these guys are using, and no guarantee it's strong enough to live very long. Remember even OEM glass lenses get broken. The only benefit you're getting from these is that they won't fade/haze over time like plastic. But if they get chipped, they're done. At least when the plastic ones fade/haze, you can polish 'em out and clearcoat...

FWIW I ordered some glass ones a long time ago to try 'em out. Same exact damn thing happened: they showed plenty of stock on eBay, then when I bought them, they said they were out of stock and refunded me. Hard to tell what their problem is but it sure is a strange coincidence.

I looked at a set at a swap meet a while back, and they looked like the same housings as my current ones. I talked to several people who have had them, one guy whos had them for several years with no problems.
My current plastic lense headlights are only a year old and already have bad crazing that cannot be polished out, almost as if the plastic is starting to dry rot. Thats why im wanting glass, and id get some clear protective film to put on them to prevent chips.

I always wonder how people have such bad luck with the plastic lensed housings... I've had my Anzos for years now and they still look like brand new. Unless all the manufacturers are using different grades of plastic or something... Beats me.

Ihad a set in the past once and that's exactly what happened picked up a rock chip cracked one of the lenses. I bought them at all GM nationals in Carlisle . They lasted quite a while for years Before it happened . I recently bought a set of glass chrome ones on auto-parts warehouse I believe is where I got them from . They fit as good as last ones I had which is pretty good . But crack lenses are the chance you take to not have foggy headlights
