I think this should get you guys excited. We are working on a glass lens TerraPodz V2. Using a Hella 550 lamp. Easy to find replacements if ever you should need one. Uses an H1 bulb or LED equivalent.
This is our proto test fitting right now. We've got a little tweaking to do then hopefully live in a month or two. Best part is that we manufacture our parts and have 100% control on quality and availability.

Good idea using an off the shelf lens, only drawback I can see is how fragile those 550's seem to be. At least in my experience, I have a box of cracked / fogged lenses.
It's too bad Projektzwo didn't use a more widely available lens.
I have a set of original Projektzwo$ I only mount occasionally when I want to show off, otherwise they stay in a box covered in bubblewrap  .

The depth was the limit IMO for the specific lens.
The style and size was kinda common in the 80s here in europe, but did not make it into the 90s.
Plastic bumpers killed the market of aftermarket lenses 
There are repros of the specific lens available, but they do not have E or DOT marks so they are not street legal.

I like the look of the rectangular headlights with the lower ProjektZwo grille extension. 
I have these lamps. They were installed when I bought my van in 2008.
Are these the originals?
They have a thick clear vinyl “protection” stuck to the glass.

We should probably keep this thread for TerraPodz info and use the thread for original Projektzwo stuff here:
