WTB clear/euro/crystal lense aftermarket headlights

These things were crazy plentiful a few years back all over online but have since fallen off the face of the earth. I'm hoping somebody out there has a set for sale and/or maybe has spotted a set at a junkyard or something they could pull for me. They would have been sold under several names including Spyder, Mimo USA, etc but surely it's all the same crap. You'd think with as prevelant as these were there'd be thousands out there.

Don't care if it's the black or the chrome inner housings because I'm only going to be using the outer glass lense to re-do my BMW set up in glass.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for. Kicking myself for never having bought a set several years back.

I lucked out and got a free set from my boy Ron(former org member from NY). I was getting ready to buy a set a year ago and can't believe you can't find them now. The set he gave me was new in the box, he bought 2 sets just so he had a spare set but when he sold his Max a year ago I got all his goodies laying around. He knew how much I'm into my 3rdgen and hooked me up instead of trying to sell the clear lenses. GLWS.

You're selling E36 lights and thus E36 glass housings, I'm wanting 3rd gen Maxima clear glass housings.

Did you see this link?

http://m.buy.com/product/details/241731634

May be an old link...I added one to my cart but didn't check out. Not sure where it ships from either.

It won't let me add it to my cart. When I try to add it, it gives me this

So you were able to actually add it to your cart and go to checkout?

Well I found the chrome ones on buy.com as well through a part number search on the Internet. I was able to add it to my cart and checkout.

http://m.buy.com/product/details/241731635

I notice they're just sold by Carro Pacific and their site lists both the black and the chrome. The black lists out of stock but the chrome lists in stock. I tried to buy the chrome from Carro Pacific's site but it showed shipping as $65 and then for some strange reason the total came to $321 (even though $128+ $65 = $193) so I was like **** that.

Interestingly, right after paying for the buy.com one, the listing now shows "out of stock" so HOPEFULLY that is a good sign that there was indeed a physical product in the first place that I bought.

We shall see but I won't get my hopes up

*edit* now checked the Carro Pacific site again and the chrome ones now show out of stock. So, theoretically this means that there was ONE in stock and I just bought it. Or this could all just be a cruel, cruel product listing mistake.

I'll keep an eye out, I initially wanted the black housings but couldn't find either. My boy sold his 3G and gave me the chrome housed lenses.

Found them listed for sale also here:

http://www.soaap.com/auto/OR-NR2003A...ack-p-287.html

After checking with them and confirming the lights are discontinued and aren't available, they immediately removed the listings from their site. I guess if nothing else I'm acting as an online vendor website-listing-cleanup service.

I checked with Andy's Auto Sport about their listings, and they said they just drop ship (as I'm sure most online vendors do, which is probably the biggest culprit in all these listings for 3rd gen products that don't exist). They're supposedly going to check with Option Racing for me to make sure they don't exist. I checked Option Racing's website and they don't even list the headlights (or anything for the 3rd gen anymore), so I doubt that will go anywhere.
