    Although I am in Canada, my car is Swiss. If these will work, I would order a pair as a set of spares.

    I don't know if these are a direct replacement for the Swiss model however I know they will fit the UK model although the type numbers on the glass are slightly different. I can't imagine there is any significant difference - especially given the amount these lights get used.

    However, I have to say I cannot 100% say for sure. If you like I could send you a set and if they don't fit then send them back and I'll return your payment in full.

    Let me know, meanwhile thanks for the interest,

    Mark

    Just FYI, US buyers

    I just got off the phone with Fedex who was working on Customs clearance. Car lenses require a DOT approval form. It's a good thing that this is instead a "glass sculpture", and I have no intent to use it on my car.....

    Just like the old "paperweights"

    Got it?

    Wow, sorry about that! I didn't realise there was that level of attention to things like this. Please let me know when you get them and if you think there is any simple way of avoiding this problem in the future.

    Cheers

    Can't imagine why it would be a problem to send glass sculpture to the US???

    Thanks a lot Bob. Really glad you got them in one piece (2 actually) and you're happy with them. Good news as I think you're the first to receive as Tillman's got held up by the DOT police in the US.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Cheers

    Mine arrived a day or two ago, but since I'm living a very distributed lifestyle these days they aren't where I am right now. Should have my hands on them this weekend :)

    Hi Mark,

    Received last week, perfect fit. Well done for your hard work on this.

    Just to echo previous comments those sitting on the fence should make the leap. The only people who think these are expensive will be the ones who haven't tried to source them after breaking one (or two in my case), Trust me its a nightmare.

    Cheers

    I've learned to jump on these little custom parts when they show up, because if I don't they certainly won't be here when I need them.

    That's strange... I know of at least one place that sells e-code headlamps for the Saab 900 here in the States. They're a "proper" BMW, Saab, Volvo parts supplier (not some fly-by-night ebay guy).

    I can't see there being a problem, from a legal standpoint, until they're mounted on a car that is being driven on U.S. public roads (and of course I don't have the superior e-code design headlamps on my car..... at least I can't recall installing them..... I think..... as far as I know....)

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I'm glad you received them all without too much problem.

    I've now run out of the first batch I had made but I'll order more shortly. Anyone interested or have I saturated the market yet....?? !

    It will take about another 3 weeks (Chinese New Year coming up here) to get the next batch so anyone who is interested please pm me and I'll start a list.

    Thanks all

    Hi Mark,

    I have a starburst chip in my right-hand lens. My car was first registered in France in November 1986 and so has yellow fog lights. I would like to retain this heritage, but don't know if the yellow colouring is in the lens or the reflective surface. Any thoughts? If all else fails, I may just replace both, although it sounds like a fairly intimidating process!

    FYI, this is my car - I trust your lenses will fit:

    Photograph One
    Photograph Two
    Photograph Three

    Congratulation on a great initiative!

    Regards, MARK PAUTZ

    If they only knew the time, money and fretting over the details. I am glad too see the product out and looking good. We need more people making unobtainium parts. I know it takes a huge risk up front, but it may be the only way to get some parts in the future. Again, you have a really nice product there.
