The transparent acrylic for Yella tinge cost a whopping......... $17.
Alternatively, drop into Autopro, and pick up some 7" acrylic dome headlight protectors. Yella has them, just fit over the headlight, and cheap as chips. Most people can't even tell they are on there. Much nicer solution. Just have a look at the pair before you buy them, as some have a horrible glob of plastic in the middle from casting.
From memory those one pictured were made by Aunger. I always wanted a pair for my Torrie as a young bloke!!!

But I guess LH 4 cyl and L34 would be the same as LX being round
And LH square lights would be different

Did they change their pressing at any time?
There is also a non-Aunger brand that you screwed into the outer rim of the surround.

I agree, there wouldn't be much difference in the outer rim size of the 2, if any.Last set of LH surrounds I had were within a hair of the same outer dimensions.........

There is also a non-Aunger brand that you screwed into the outer rim of the surround.
Also the 2 other brands that made headlight covers back then were Metrix & Cyplas.
There were many variations, black stripes, white stripes, no stripes & many types of fixings.

I used some tiny little self tappers, which I presume came of the UC we stripped. Dunno, but there were ten of them, I only needed 8!!!! Winner.
Looked at Yella yesterday, and meant to take a pic of the plastic domes. They are ace too. I have a couple of spares in the shed that I can take pics of, as I got two sets to get perfect lenses.
LH-LX, absolutely no difference in the surrounds. I have a square set for Yella if I feel original one day in the future. The only difference is that the plastic screw in block at the bottom is longer, other than that, not a mm of difference in the outside profile.

LH: P/N H102, and
LX: PN H130
there is approx a 10mm height difference between the two. Width is the same.
Attachments wise, the differences were;
LH: 3 holes per cover. Screws were installed directly into the headlight surround, and
LX: 4 Holes per cover. Screw and brackets used that would attach to the outer edge or the headlight surround.
It was something that we were looking at redoing, just not sure what the demand wouild be like though.
cheers
Mick

Just out of curiosity, why did they put the white lines on them though? So you could see that they were there?
Who knows... they also have the part no and teh aunger logo on them as well.

You could also get perspex number plate covers and for some reason the trend was to put black horizontal lines on them. No. plate covers are illegal these days right?
