Headlights on Mark VIII

Hey PM me(either here or one one of the other sites) about what you want for that one passenger headlight that you have. I need another one to make a clay mold off of.
 
I should talk to my friends dad, he owns one of the largestaftermarket body parts suppliers in the U.S. He mainly makes import car parts. I think the cost to tool up is somewhere around $100,000 and up, and thats with everything being done in china.

I have an e-mail address (at home) for a guy who if you send him your head lights he will refurbish them, both the lenses and the reflective backing for $200 per set. I have one of his set and am very satisfied. He has a patten pending and claims they will not fade or he'll re-do them.

Rich, see if you can get that guy to join LVC, and posts some before and after.

Well that sucks, makes me want to take a hammer to my HIRs! LOL Well I don't drive at night much and the auto-lights are never on. I DO drive around with my parking lights on though - all the time.

Yep, that's the way to do it. Only use your lights if you really need to. I also run my parking lights untill it's dark enough for the headlights. I have had my new ford housings for a year now and so far so good! Who knows how many are left though. :confused:
 
Thats true. There are MANY parts for this car that can no longer be purchased since they are no discontinued - you have to be lucky in eBay or somewhere to even get new. The Gen 1 passenger side marker is a recent example. Its no longer made, new ones are hard to find and used ones are fetching more than the price for a new one!

I think for these reason we are going to see an acceleration of bone yard Marks :( Not every driver of a Mark in on a forum. Smash up the car, even a little and cant get replacement parts (assuming the insurance company does not total it anyway)? Well, what would you do with a 10 year old car, dump it....

Driver's side inventory of side markers is low - in short, if you need front end crash parts - get em now folks!

I have a feeling struts will be discontinued sometime this year.....
 
Very different and the halogen's will not disperse the light right.
