I am sure the glass ones are nice and original. But I have had lots of Series, and can't remember ever having seen the glass ones.
I guess most of the old ones will have had several changes of lights over the years, I have smashed a few lights myself, and people have just fitted plastic.
When I first started driving Series, they were just old junk, you could buy one for a few hundred quid, and just wanted to keep it going.
In the last few years, they have become collectable classics, prices have risen, and all of a sudden people are asking questions about originality.
