I was browsing ARD's site and I saw the Clear Lens option he has for the 70 series, Ive always wanted clear GLASS lenses for the 850.

So I asked Lucky if he was able to source the clear lenses for the 850, he said yes but they would be pricey unless we did a group buy..

So Im just gauging interest on the clear lenses.

Here are the 70 series ones Replacement Clear Glass Headlight Lenses

Keep in mind this is just a feeler thread!
I am NOT selling any and I DO NOT know what they would cost....

Im just trying to find out if there would be a interest in these so he can move to the next step which would be offering a group buy..

So whats on your mind??

 

Don't the lenses have some kind of chambers in them to help direct the light beam.

 

From the description in the link above...

"...un-fluted glass headlight lenses... Use as replacement lenses for RZ Design Bi-Xenon, C70 Jewels, or ABM projectors. Also great for use with custom projector retrofits."

So, if you have projector headlights, or plan to retrofit, you'd need these. I've always found the headlights in my Volvos to be some of the best, compared to other cars I've owned. Personally, if I were going to spend four or five hundred bucks, it would be on many other things before I spent it on headlights.

Suspension, brakes, tuning, etc...

 

They arent going to be $400 to $500 LOL a brand new set to jewels from de88 with corners runs $400..

As soon as lucky finds out price I will update..

 

You lost me on that one. It won't be 400-500, it'll only be 400? You're making my point for me.

 

Your confused my friend.... Your not reading it correctly..

This group buy offered by http://ardtuning.com/ will be for the Clear glass replacement lenses ONLY. and they will NOT run $400..

I was making a point that you can get a brand new set of Jewel headlight assemblies with corners for $300 to $500 depending on where you purchased them. those are like these Volvo 850 Head Light JEWEL LED PAIR CHROME 94-97 NEW on eBay!

Again they will be LENSES only.. NOT headlight assemblies.
They will come in a kit like this Replacement Clear Glass Headlight Lenses


These will be perfect for people that are doing a retrofit like this

So whats everyones thoughts?

If anyone else wants to add to the facebook convo.. I see you now have... | Facebook

 

It happens often. I'm used to it by now.

My point was, a group buy (and potential savings) is great if you've already converted your headlights and just need new glass. Otherwise, the lenses are just part of the equation, and I'm guessing the total cost would be in the $4-500 range. I personally like spending the money on stuff that actually makes it go faster, or handle better.

Or, if I could just make it run right now, that would be nice too.

 

LOL... Faster is a never ending struggle... and youll never have enough money LOL

Lenses with HID projectors should be just under $300 if you go new.

Lenses with Salvaged projectors should run between $175 and $200 when all is said and done
