Let me know if you are interested in E-code lenses. I have a set of very mint OEM E-code lenses of my C70.

Sorry, that was me.

So did anyone get some pictures tonight?

Flippin' daylight savings time. I was up till after 11pm and it was still light outside, so no pix unless I stay up past midnight. Maybe I'll have to stay up and play some FarCry and wait for some darkness.

someone needs to stop being stupid and release the jewel lens alone....I hate the LEDs and there's no way I'm paying $900 for headlight assemblies...especiallly reflectors and when nothing is wrong with mine

You can't throw jewel lenses on the OEM headlights. Won't work. For one, it'll look like crap and second, the OEM headlights aren't setup to work with clear lenses. I've tried it. It doesn't work.

EDIT: And the LED's look good when they're on. A very white light. Not yellowish like they look when they're off.

Here ya go Carson:





It's almost like each headlight has a dual beam pattern ... a lower one, then another one right on top of the lower one, but to the right a little. Javadoc likes to call it a playboy bunny pattern, but I think he's been staring at too many ink blots

Those look good! Are those the OEM lenses or ScanTech? I am definately getting a set, they look much better then the factory lens...

Everything looks like PB bunnies! I'll try and make an excuse to roll the car out of the garage once it gets dark... see if my lights make a different pattern. Beach, you got Scantechs, right? I know mine are Volvo E-code lenses, from Precision Volvo.

Those are the ScanTech lenses I picked up from FCP Groton. I think I need to get a couple more pics with the car farther away from the garage door though.

[Volvoson]

Could you do some close up shots as well? I just want to have a good idea how they look!

[beachnut]

Close up of the pattern, or of the lenses?

[beachnut]

Here's a couple old pics when I first installed the ScanTech espec lenses:

Just for comparison, here's the beam pattern from my Protege with true especs (or as the Mazda guys call them - ecodes):

Me wants those lens, how much were they?

[beachnut]

Huh? The ones on my Mazda? I doubt they'd fit your car Fwiw, I picked them up for $300 on eBay Germany ... full espec housings and turns, not just lenses.

It's my track car, 'cept it's never been to the track ... all dressed up and daddy's never taken her to the dance

Close up of the pattern, or of the lenses?

I see that you posted a close-up of the lense, now can I see one of the pattern? Sorry to be such a neusence... I just like to check things out as best I can before I buy them.
