Hi,
Unfortunately these are discontinued. We may possibly reintroduce these
lights in the future but as to when or if that may happen, im unaware. Sorry
for the inconvenience.

This question may be outside the scope of your job, but do you know if the glass parts (on any given glass headlight product you make) are produced in-house or if they contracted to a glassworks company of some sort? IE if they were made by another company, that the other company might still have the tooling for them, to be able to make just the glass.
Well originally these were produced overseas in Taiwan by a specific manufacturing company (to which I have no idea of) but I believe we no longer produce items using that manufacturer ( which is why they are discontinued).
Other than that, I really have no clue =(
Sorry!

You would have to buy atleast 100 sets to get anyone to even consider making a run. I originally wanted black but I was blessed with a chrome set from one of my people. Only other clear lenses that kind of fit are the E36 headlights for a beamer. They make e36 glass lenses with projectors as we all know...I'd look into retrofitting those.

100 sets? that seems kind of high to me..Also NO e36 projectors are not a viable substitute. Unless your only intentions are ruining the car by hacking the crap out of the radiator support. Ive done it like many others, however Ill never do it again. The clear ebay glass was made from a direct mold of the stock glass, so it could be made again. No point in making black/chrome or all chrome brackets/housings, thats a waste of time.
As far as Im concerned those clear ebay headlights are one of the best aftermarket mods made for the 3rd gen. ever. Even though everybody bashed them when they came out; probably because they knew people would be driving around with 9004 bulbs in them, claiming its "better than stock"
The ability to have amazing headlight output + glass + 100% flush + not hacking up the car = more than anyone with an e36 conversion can say, even those that took the time to do an e36 conversion the right way..
Fact of the matter is I was lucky enough to snag a pair of the ebay headlights before they were gone. So if another run never happens I cant say thatd bother me too much..but with the shear amount of OGs and people that actually mod there 3rd gen left around this forum youd think there would be the motivation to get some made..especially with the knowledge and resources some around here have..

cheap/poor people have a horrible habit of doing all the wrong mods to their cars... while ignoring the important stuff either due to ignorance or stubbornness. And 3rd gens are usually a poor/cheap person's car.

I did
I usually keep things under wraps but whatever, it's headlights, it's nothing too unique. I did put my own twist on it though. It's quite an upgrade even with the stock lenses.

Maxima lens. Like I said in one of those PMs I sent you, I've had some a31 lights for years but eventually realized I wouldn't be satisfied with the alignment and fitment of anything but the factory lenses. Glad I held out.
