Is there a "plastic" version available? If so by whom? Here's my reason for asking. Something many of us may not have considered, I know I hadn't prior to this incident. Night time trail ride, below freezing temperature. I have my headlights on. So far no problem. So here is tonights lesson, Ice cold water + hot glass lenses due to Halogen bulbs = rapid temperature change. Something has to give and the weakest link is the glass. Two instantly cracked headlights which now like to fill up with condensation and rain and burst the Halogens.   Land Rover Certified Used A**hole (Jason) Senior Member Username: Jason Post Number: 321 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 01:13 am:    EBay...Rover Cannibal...(what's up with LRX?) Any place you can find a set used will do you good.   J Horrobin (Jon_h) New Member Username: Jon_h Post Number: 25 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2003 - 07:02 pm:    I was just curious of a plastic replacement, as the plastic should not react so extremely to the temp changes.
