Ebay 1gb Headlights - Where Did They Go?

[perks563]

I remember looking on Ebay maybe last summer and it was flooded with 1gb headlight assemblies, both clear lens/chrome housing and black housing. But now I can't find any on Ebay and all of the auto parts web sites are out of stock! I'm looking to upgrade my lighting and one of my lenses is cracked, so I wanted a set of those black housings.

If someone can point me in the right direction or has a new set for sale, I would appreciate it! Vendors, if you got 'em, let me know!

Thanks,
Eric

I would like to know where to get these too

I also would like to know, as one of my lenses is cracked too. Best time to upgrade is when something is broke right. I have searched far and wide and the best lenses I came up with are these Euro Diamond Headlights by Custom
Though I am looking for the black ones for mine as well.

Havent seen them ive looked too, i guess ebay wont be my route, there out there just not on ebay. I believe for around 200 dollars same as ebay.

I can't post in the Classified's section yet so I will put it here. Does anyone know someone selling 1gb headlights with a crystal clear lens? It doesn't matter if they are the chrome or black background, just that they have the clear lens. Not the OEM style with the lines in it.

Thanks!

Wait until you can post in the classifieds, not sure if you can post here.

Good luck, people have been trying to hunt these down since they dissapeared. Havn't heard of anyone finding a vendor that still has them.

You won't have much luck on ebay. I haven't seen those on there for years, they used to be quite abundant. You could always get a set like these -
92-94 Eclipse Crystal Headlights - Chrome
and just paint the housing yourself. I have seen this done before, and they look great. I'm sure theres a thread on here about it, if not, I can find a thread on the local dsm site I'm on, somebody did a write up if I am not mistaken.

BTW to the OP, nice car! I have been looking for a clean black 1gb myself!

I was lucky enough to pick up a set via EBAY before they were discontinued. I was still hoping to buy a second set as a spare but have had no luck so far.

all this demand for the black housings like the pic above makes me think about selling mine and get money for more important things

Problem is that vendors have them listed in their website, but when I call to confirm that they have them, they are out. Kinda frustrating that they don't update their product listing.

Thanks! I got really lucky finding it.

I found this thread for hand making your own custom clear headlight lens:

i guess when cars hit 20+ years manufacturers dont see any profit so they stop producing, i dont know thats just me

that makes me wonder, to anyone who has a 1g- have anybody applied for a "classic" license plate ???

I don't know of anyone but I'm sure it will happen. What is it, 20 years? DSM's debut in 1990 + 20 yrs = 2010
