Gen 1 Mark VIII LSC Housings

[Epwillis]

Up for sale a set of Gen 1 LSC Housings, all mountings holes intact and the top screw holes of the low beam have been re-tapped for new screws bottom holes have not been. I will include a dozen of the screws i used for the top holes and you can tap the bottom ones.

Lenses are clear with some dirt on the inside of the passenger light, chrome is not the best shape on the low beam buckets. However this does not affect the light output, just appearance.

pics:

The headlights were tinted when I bought them, so they look a lot better now(Here's a pic of when I bought them):

Looking for 300$OBO, pm with offers and we can work out shipping. These are being sold in AS IS CONDITION.

those look pretty good. those whining about the high price of others should probably buy these.

 

[Epwillis]

Not the best but here is some light output pics I took when i had them in with 6000K bulbs( not included):

whaa???for real? missing (cooked?) chrome doesn't affect light output?

......way to revive an old post.....these are long gone..........the chrome wasn't missing it just had some hard water spots and was an eye sore the light output was fine.

 

[dnsherrill]

yea, I know you sold em....and i recently almost bought em, they look worse now than when you sold em
...water spots? really? how does water get inside?
saying that damaged/missing/cooked chrome doesn't diminish light output is straight up
:bsflag:

cooked chrome is the whole reason gen 1 Mark VIII headlights suck...no chrome= no light, less chrome=less light...simple, right?

You didn't buy them the guy that bought them from me baked them apart and was looking at getting them re chromed............... So why don't you get your facts straight before you go bashing someone on their description, if you look above you can see the light output pictures I posted and its fine.

And yes water spots you know when moisture gets in something and sits..they were like that when I bought them and as you can see in the pictures there's still some silicone left from the guy before me who used silicone to hold the bulbs in.

that's odd the buyer would re-chrome them, especially since chrome doesn't affect light output
:shifty:

You're an Idiot learn to read, the chrome on those housings was fine except for the water spots THAT DID NOT AFFECT THE LIGHT OUTPUT. I'll say it once again look at the pictures and you can see the light output with the housings in the car.

Lemme ask you this who did you buy them from and I can prove you they weren't mine and you did this for nothing.

And sure Burned off chrome affects light output but this was not my case. So get your facts straight before throwing a seller under the bus because you think you bought the lights they sold from someone else.

 

[dnsherrill]

yea, back at ya a-hole, I read your BS ad... I didn't buy the ones you had or any other lights; someone else recently claimed your same stupid idea, then I saw your silly ad...

i responded to this to call out your ridiculous notion that damaged chrome doesn't affect light projection....but you know what, if some schmuck is naive enough to buy into your retarded theory, he gets what he deserves...junk

once again from the beginning: more chrome =more light, less chrome= less light....got it? if you need peer-reviewed resources to confirm, just ask...

 

[chris2523]

the flat parts, the top and bottom, aren't even chrome on the halogen headlights. (source, i own a pair of NOS halogen headlights.) only the bowl reflects useful light.
bad chrome on the flat parts, would not affect light output.

anyway, the lights are sold. and Evan seems like a good guy.

Dan, chill out.

I think "My Great 8" has a set he's willing to part with for a reasonable price! PM him if your interested.

the top and bottom (ceiling and floor) are absolutely reflective on all the housings I've had...the cooked line between charred white and silver is clearly defined
-----
all the electromagnetic energy produced is either absorbed, reflected or projected.....hazy lenses absorb more, charred white housing absorbs more, a smooth, hard, continuous chrome surface reflects (transmits) more energy; a clear(er) lens transmits more....simple, right?

Not sure why you're jumping all over Evan..he described them in detail with pics of the housings and the light output. A few water spots on the chrome isn't going to affect sh*t or at least not enough to notice side by side. The person he sold them to probably wanted to rechrome them to make them perfect so as not to show the water spots when you look directly in the lense..its purely cosmetic.

I have sold three sets of HID lenses. The most recent lenses I sold were by far the nicest. They did however have what looked like black water droplets on the reflector. I don't remember where, but they were so minor that it had no affect on the light output.

 

[ONLYTONY]

I just opened a set of gen2's, that looked perfect, and found moisture dots. Just leave them alone and all will be well. I had a pair on my 98 with chrome brite on the bottom parts, and the heat and sun made it crinkle. Light output is fine. I was thinking of painting the bottom parts the same as the car. and if it would affect the output of light. The adjustable part would stay chrome. Sounds like a nice winter project.

 

[Spree]

Rocker panel chrome tape is better then chrome bright and won't crinkle like that.

The chrome was all there, yes there were water spots but the effect they had on light output was negligible. The water spots were actually dried calcium/water spots thus leaving a harder “ring”.

They were baked for multiple reasons, one being to try and clean the spots better as to achieve a near perfect reflector, I also will have new LSC lenses put back on them. Once I could not clean without damaging I decided to get them re-chromed they way they are.

True, I wasn’t happy that I could not clean them up but he sent pictures just like I asked in a timely manner and was easy to work with. I still bought them after seeing the pictures, thus the quality aspect of the parts he was selling was acceptable to me. He did not misrepresent because if he did I (The Buyer) would have called him out on it and he and I privately would have taken care of any issues. Something you would know if you were involved in this transaction. Since you were not, you shouldn't be antagonizing him.

I have several sets of LSC head lights so these were just an extra set to play with. The plan was always to bake apart and re-chrom so I can have brand new looking lights. I just tried cleaning them first because that step was free. Again the blemish on these had minimal impact on light output. Like me he was probably just too lazy to spell it out in such detail a 5 year old like yourself could understand. Please stop wasting peoples time in here and try and use your time to help people.

yea, my bad... :slam
somehow i thought the chrome/silver actually affected luminosity- reflected light...i didn't realize the chrome is just there for the BLING factor
