are TGEY American made.? Molded or extracted plexi?
are the gaskets closed cell foam?

RL Sebring site shows the prices for each lens, Mexico and Taiwan

BTW, I never answered the question about the gaskets in the above post. They are the exact same as the OEM gaskets.

I considered LED headlights until reading about "Perimeter Gasket Fitment" problems people have reported in with. To me, it is much worse to introduce imperfection on an otherwise perfect Corvette, noting such imperfection is located in the worst possible place for everyone, especially me, to see.

Try this: https://www.umnitza.com or https://umnitza.com
Either way, I'll fix that today with my web guy so that even the other one shows correct.
We just passed a new PCI certification so that might take a little bit to reflect with Norton.

I originally replaced the lenses in my headlights shortly after i bought my car and I can vouch that the umnitza lenses are good quality and the butyl is also good quality and easy to work with. The only issue I had is with the gasket that surrounds the headlight. The supplied gasket was the absolute worst. I have seen/heard that this gasket has since been replaced.

RLSebring used to be another option who had quality lenses AND gaskets, but he has unfortunately passed on several months ago and it doesn't seem like anyone is taking over his business.

The only other options I know of are Choppy's headlights. I do not know if he sells the lenses for you to do the work yourself, but I do believe that he sells refurbished and/or new headlights and believe that he accepts your old lights on trade. After that, the only other option I know about is the crap should that is e bay and the Chinese knockoffs which, like everything, can be hit or miss.

Good luck whatever you do.
