I picked up a set of low pros recently and one of the lights were out. Well..... More like destroyed. The housing was cracked and it burned out the light. Now I need to find a new housings for the replacement light. I don't know what specific kind of low pros they are, but I found a light easy enough. I should be able to find a housing, correct? Any help is appreciated. Sorry for my crap photography.


This is where a glas cover should be

I told you what they were. You have BSP gen 2 low pros. They were originally installed by Ritcherat in 1997.

Bumping this because I have no idea where to look. Went into an advance auto today and seemed to blow the guys mind when I said, "non-sealed" headlight....

Options that have "been done": "angel eyes" retrofit (http://home.earthlink.net/~tony.cooper/angel.htm) or if you've got some cash to spend, you can fit Hella 90mm projectors. I THINK (but could be wrong) the 4" lights that were used originally were motorcycle lights. Looking at some motorcycle parts sites I see a lot of options that could likely be made to work, but none that would be a direct replacement.

Can you send me some links? As long as they are non sealed and 4 inch I might be able to make them work. Might head to a local motorcycle shop to see if I can find something.

Went to a Harley shop and they had nothing. THIS IS SO DIFFICULT!

I'm confused, are you looking for the entire housing, as in glass lens, and reflector bowl, or just the glass? you mentioned in your first post that the housing cracked but i dont see anything wrong with the housing in the picture aside from it being dirty/rusty. Anyway, those original housings are just foglight housings so if you need new ones, just do a search for 4" foglights or 4" driving lights. If it was me, i would buy a set of these:

Bake the lens off them and use them on the old reflector bowls. Or if you need the whole thing, dump it in some paint striper to remove the black powdercoating and then polish the hell out of the back to make it shiny.
or buy this, and do the same thing:

I consider the glass and the reflector (?) as the same thing put together. I don't think you can find replacement glass or I would just do that. The ones you posted may work, but they may be to long in the back.

The lens fell off one of mine, I used Shoe Goo to glue it back together.

Gavin, those are BSP lights, you can probably get a replacement lens from their dealer GoMiata.com

I got in contact with Integrated Performance who owns the rights to the BSP set up now. They sell replacement lights and I'm ordering a set!

Cost and ordering info, out of curiosity? Was planning on cleaning mine up or fitting some other lights, but if the price is right may not be worth the time...

They are selling the full reflector/housing for 25 dollars a piece. You can get a regular one or one with a chrome ring around it.
