So you probably don't know me yet, but here is my intro: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=33977

I just bought a '91 Legacy L Wagon and can't stand the blaring-80's look of the headlights on it. I love the car, already have a set of WRX wheels to go on it for my first mod, but really need to ditch these headlights. Does anybody know where I could purchase a set with actual clear lenses as opposed to just buying direct replacements and keeping them polished?

Thank you,
Justin

Welcome,
Blackbart may have a set of pre-facelift glass headlights left. He was selling them for a while.
But he's soakin' up the sun somewhere tropical now. You'll have to contact him next year.
Until then, try clearing them. Info on howto is in the body section, I believe.

Wow, more and more WW people keep showing up! Maybe all the talkin-up I did of the Legacies when I was in town did some good!

If you want modern lighting, you'll have to custom build something.

hey build something custom huh? how hot does the area around the bulb get? Would fiberglass work? Or would it just melt away from the heat?

Pretty sure it would melt it or at least deform it.

alright thats what i thought, i have been doin some work with fiberglass on my motorcycle and the idea popped in my head.

Ditto. I have plans to graft a ZX-9R tail section on to my '80 Kawi 750 (turned into a Cafe style bike).

cool, yeah i am workin on my suzki gs650 shafty, turns out not many people do anything with them soo i guess i will have to. I was lookin for something that looked to fit my tastes and came across crb600rr rear tail lite that looks pretty good but thats about as far as i got. Well i did get my rear seat pan made and fits the bike like a glove.

sorry alittle off topic

The heat of what kind of lights? Fiberglass would be fine. The glass fibers themselves are extremely heat resistant. The standard material for the OEM halogen housing is a type of heat resistant plastic with polycarbonate for the lens. The projectors don't get as hot as OEM and there's only a small vent for condensation purposes.

What kind of projectors did you use & where did you get them? I'd like to perform the same mod on my car. I can pick up a spare set of lights locally for pretty cheap.

90mm Hellas. I got them from Danielsternlighting.com.

Thanks for the info!
