I'm NOT the best chef(baking headlights)
Terrible intro post...
Baking my SCs headlights and forgot about this lens... New plan, aftermarket headlights!
Anyone know of decent aftermarket lights? looking into these http://www.dashzracing.com/92-99-lex...005a-ccfl.html does anyone have them who could show me a decent pic of them on their car?

Ouch that sucks... do a search for ebay headlights and you'll probably find a few posts. If you like to live dangerously, you can try baking them again and swap the lens over although it's not a direct fit.

But seriously though, the op is in California and SC headlights are at every pick and pull if you want to get another oem light. And the aftermarket headlights although having clear lenses, are known to haze rather quickly.

Depending o the color of your car the chrome ones can look decent or look out of place.
I personally only like how they look with black ones on black cars, and the chrome ones on DWP cars. But that's just me

That sucks man.
If you're tossi g them in the oven its best to take your time and heat them slowly. Before I bought my heat gun I'd turn the oven to 220 and then turn the oven off and let my headlights sit in that 10 minutes at a time while I slowly worked at wedging them apart. I usually had to cycle them two or three times, but I was too scared of ruining my Supermade lenses.
If I were you I'd find some OEM lenses. The only good aftermarket headlights cost over a G from clearcorners. I haven't heard very good things about the projectors, seal, or build quality on the eBay lights.

Why buy a heat gun when you already got an oven!
But seriously though, the op is in California and SC headlights are at every pick and pull if you want to get another oem light. And the aftermarket headlights although having clear lenses, are known to haze rather quickly.

The oven method is tricky. I've seen a lot of headlights melt like that. Mine came out fine when I tried it, but I stood there watching it like a hawk.
I would recommend a heat gun too. The oven method is too risky.

I agree, I've seen these on ebay. They may look good on black SC's, but I had my OEM ones refinished and clear coated they still don't look like glass but they are close
