No glass for your @ss

But on a more serious note, I wish they existed.

the highbeams are indeed glass -- I've got a rather large shattered fragment right here next to me.

the reason why the MKIV has glass headlights as an option is because the MKIV was sold in Europe.

The SC4/3 wasn't, so hence, no euro glass headlights.

thinking about it, my 93 SC400 seemed like it was plastic, but when broken, it was definately glass.


It doesn't feel like glass when you tap on them, but they're definately glass.
