I found an old Japanese vid showing a MR2 with these headlight covers.
Does anyone know if these can still be bought and if so where?

I did find this article on forming acrylic sheet in the oven, maybe it could be possible to make my own?
Anyone done something like that?

Look in the affiliate section, glassfibre products do something similar.

Yes, those light surrounds do look excellent, I think they are much better than the more common version which don't separate the indicator from the headlight. I have never seen this version for sale unfortunately. Also they may not work so well with FL lights which have separate dipped/main beam bulbs.

They are Amuse headlight covers:

My God, they're a bit pricey.

I think they give the car a sort of Ford RS200 look (which is fine by me).

But, yes, that's pricey.

Cheers for the replies.
A bit pricey! $501   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   or £384. You can buy a pair of headlights for less.
Might have a go at making my own in the future though, lots of other things to do first.
