Hard Plastic Headlamp Covers 850 1997

I am wanting to replace the 5 year old plastic headlamp covers for my 97 850. They are quite sandblasted and scrubed from the little wipers. I bought them from IPD, but contacted IPD today they said, don't have, don't know when will have again.

Anyone have a source for these covers. It is easy to find the flexable stick on tape type covers, but what I am after is the hard plastic snap on type.

Thanks for the input,
Kele'

    Slight topic drift, but---
    How did you get the headlight wiper blade to sit flat on the plastic covers? Mine stick out at an angle when I put the covers on for trips and such.

      You might want to talk to John (VPI) about a film that he recommends putting on. Supposed to prevent cracks & strengthen the lens.

      If I get around to replacing the lens on mine, I plan to get the film too.
