euro headlamps (not HID)

my us headlamps are looking nasty, i see the replacement lense are around 90 dollars each. I see on ebay, euro headlamps complete for 260. is that a good price for those?? cause they are glass and would last longer. any opinions?

See, this is what I can't seem to figure out because my headlamps are glass. It's not a European model or anything. I don't get it. I think that is a good price. I tried to negotiate the price down a bit but he won't email me back. Maybe if we did a group buy or something like that he would.

Wow. What a coincidence! I accidently cracked open the corner of my left headlight lense today. How? I was trying to pry it open to clean the lense inside! Well, I did. The vertical crack is about 5" from the top to the inner side. But the lense still seems tiny bit dirty in b/w or outside or something. But it needs to be replaced. Anyway, I am obviously interested in a replacement lense. Maybe some xenon lenses Halogen will do fine. But I would want some hid's very soon. What would you guys use to seal the lense back in? I used super glue and some Elmer's Glue spackle-like stuff.

You need to reseal it with clear epoxy.

I'm trying to talk him into a group buy. There's no way I'm paying 260 dollars to fix a stupid rock chip. Mine are already glass anyway. Are all yours plastic???
