    So that's where you get these!



    Go to www.performanceproducts.com and search on "Weltmeister Racing Plastic Headlight Lens" including the quotes! You should see a link to it.

    Alternatively, try cutting and pasting this URL into your browser:

    http://www.performanceproducts.com/P...producttype=20

    I couldn't find it by searching for its order line number: 177168

    The yellow lenses are legal in France.

    California Law:

    CALIFORNIA CODES
    VEHICLE CODE
    SECTION 25950-25952

    25950. This section applies to the color of lamps and to any
    reflector exhibiting or reflecting perceptible light of 0.05 candela
    or more per foot-candle of incident illumination. Unless provided
    otherwise, the color of lamps and reflectors upon a vehicle shall be
    as follows:
    (a) The emitted light from all lamps and the reflected light from
    all reflectors, visible from in front of a vehicle, shall be white or
    yellow, except as follows:
    (1) Rear side marker lamps required by Section 25100 may show red
    to the front.
    (2) The color of foglamps described in Section 24403 may be in the
    color spectrum from white to yellow.
    (b) The emitted light from all lamps and the reflected light from
    all reflectors, visible from the rear of a vehicle, shall be red
    except as follows:
    (1) Stoplamps on vehicles manufactured before January 1, 1979, may
    show yellow to the rear.
    (2) Turn signal lamps may show yellow to the rear.
    (3) Front side marker lamps required by Section 25100 may show
    yellow to the rear.
    (4) Backup lamps shall show white to the rear.
    (5) The rearward facing portion of any front-mounted double-faced
    turn signal lamp may show amber to the rear while the headlamps or
    parking lamps are lighted, if the intensity of the light emitted is
    not greater than the parking lamps and the turn signal function is
    not impaired.
    (6) Reflectors meeting the requirements of and installed in
    accordance with Section 24611 shall be red or white, or both.
    (c) All lamps and reflectors visible from the front, sides, or
    rear of a vehicle, except headlamps, may have any unlighted color,
    provided the emitted light from all lamps or reflected light from all
    reflectors complies with the required color. Except for backup
    lamps, the entire effective projected luminous area of lamps visible
    from the rear or mounted on the sides near the rear of a vehicle
    shall be covered by an inner lens of the required color when the
    unlighted color differs from the required emitted light color.
    Taillamps, stoplamps, and turn signal lamps that are visible to the
    rear may be white when unlighted on vehicles manufactured before
    January 1, 1974.

    Yeah, technically it's legal in California -- although that doesn't mean you're not going to get pulled over for it. I know some guys who keep a print-out of that law in their cars with them.

    I forget the company's name, but the guy who sells them is named Thomas. They went for $139 plus $30 for shipping back when I bought a set, but the weak dollar might have changed that.

    Thomas' email is:
