The glass is actually easier to get. The lenses were used in many Hella lights.

Why do people throw stuff away is beyond me. Like throwing money in the trash. Its not just you, People throw the radios out, the speakers out, the speaker covers out, broken fog lights, air horns, radar detectors, etc etc etc without knowing their value. Its really frustrating.

It is frustrating to me also Mike.
This case may be different, but remember - for most of us - when I, also, threw stuff out, it wasn't worth anything. I had Kenwood KRC-2001s, etc. Even most of the Alpines years ago. They just weren't worth anything when they broke 4 years later. I threw away marchals before and wired up my own KC figlights. Number one, Ford wanted toooo much money for replacement fog lights and no one was restoring a car back then that they make thousands of when they were only 3 years old.

Am I pissed now - of course, but you have to remember the value and the thought of the value back then. There was none. The car restoration 'thingy' really did not exist until recently. You could buy all the 60's cars you wanted in the mid and late 80's for nothing.

You should have 3 of those for your hatch. Like 6" of padding.

Maybe You all should start watching my dumpster's. I'm losing dry storage space and have to clean out a couple of barns worth of stuff.

Thought of throwing everthing in the field and having a sale. But I dont think the turn out would be that great.
