"Hi John,
Sorry for the delayed response. I just heard back from the Product Manager and she confirmed we discontinued support of headlight spare parts in 2014. However, she did mention ABL Lighting, a large EU light and spare parts supplier, may offer alternative solutions.
I hope this helps, take care.
Thank you,
Justin Wolf

Thanks for the update! The only ABL I found on a google search is ABL Lights Group, a brand of Vignal Lighting, which makes lighting for construction and railway equipment. It looks like Automotive Lighting was originally a 50/50 joint venture between Magneti-Marelli and Bosch and is now 100% owned by Magneti-Marelli, that's probably why Bosch is out of it.

Steele Rubber

There's a company called Steele Rubber that makes a lot of stuff for American cars. I wonder if enough of us contacted them they would be interested in making them?

A group buy would be nice. Probably some Chinese vendor could make some up for a reasonable price. I don't know how one would proceed to get in touch with a manufacturer or vendor, tho. Maybe talk to Pelican?
