Drifterdon Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I've tried to search for anyone that carries the MV Products (MV Lens). The small headlight looking pieces that folks use to replace headlight or sealed beam lights in general. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck. Has MV Products gone out of business? Does anyone know of a source for clear or pearl white unfaceted rhinestones that can be used as replacement headlights for 1/24 and 1/25 model cars? I can only find faceted rihinestones or things called mermaid tears which are pretty neat but look like a water droplet. Problem is they are too round and buggy looking. Might be interested in a syfy kind of application but not for model planes or cars. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Don, try looking up train hooby stores. Ther eis one in Virginia Beach I used to go to, they had a large selection. Last time I was there was 2018 or 2019. Hmmm, a quick search does not find it, but there is one called "Building Your Model Railroad", 2632 E Kings Rd, Virginia Beach, VA 23452 [TrainStoreOnline.net]. Also try Walthers up in the upper Midwest (MI, or WI). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cat Barf Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I switched over to using the AK Interactive lenses after all of my MV clear lenses turned yellow over time. https://ak-interactive.com/product-category/tools-accesories/lenses/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many lens come in a package of the AK Interactive packages? From looking at the website, I'm guessing just one right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cat Barf Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 All the packages contain 4 lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Evilbay is not much help either. It appears that MV Products is no more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 About 2 years ago I purchased several red and amber lenses for the beacons for my 1-Adam 12 police car build from evilbay. Can't remember the vendor now, but I think it was one of those mostly train stores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
