Are the lenses plastic or glass?

Plastic. I got them in two days. They came in two separate boxes bundled together. They were wrapped in a plastic bag with bubble wrap around that. I have not installed them yet, but they look identical to my oem lenses. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The lenses are plastic. They make a huge difference when the original lenses are almost 20 years old.

The lenses are all SAE and DOT approved, they all meet or exceed OEM standards, it doesn't matter whether you purchase them from a GMC/Chevy dealer, they're all the same and are high impact plastic lenses, the only real difference is, if you purchase them from a GMC/Chevy garage or from NAPA, or most other well know parts houses, you'll pay up to $175.00 a set. You're way ahead of the game by purchasing them through Amazon for $34.00 rather than $175.00, the choice is yours. By the way, most every vehicle made has high impact plastic lenses installed, I don't think you will find any glass anymore, maybe a Rolls Royce. Eventually they all get dull and need to be replaced, it's extremely easy to do, if you don't know, I will happy to tell you how to do it. I've had high impact lenses installed on my vehicles, including my 1997 GMC truck, my originally OEM factory lenses were plastic and nearly 16 years old, they are still in tack, the only reason that I changed them was that they were getting dull, generally, you can polish the outside, however, you can't get to the inside which also gets dull. For $34.00 buy them, the seller was excellent, they delivered the product on time, they were all well packaged, and the lenses were the same quality as discussed above. I hope this helps.

Agree fully with my fellow purchasers comments preceding this reply, that they are plastic as are almost all of this type. Quality is excellent, sorry can't confirm that they acturally fit my vehicle (96 GMC), but its been to darn cold to work on my truck to install. At Amazon's price, I can finally afford to replace my old "fogged" lights.

The lens is actually a polycarbonate which is a optical quality material and virtually unbreakable. It is actually a lighter and more expensive material than glass.

Yes, I think the lens is glass, although I didn't touch it much to be sure because I didn't want to get fingerprints on it. There were no tools or instructions. I just looked up a video on YouTube that was pretty easy to follow. Hope this helps.

They are optical grade plastic and I have produced some beautiful photos with them. I would recommend them to any Photographer

Sorry, all the inexpensive lenses are plastic. Just be careful you do not place them lens down on a surface.

I believe they are Polymer, too light to be glass & a good buy for the money...JMO...I keep a pair on my book case & one on the garage work bench and a pair out in my shed...lol...

They are plastic. In years past I had always had glass in all of my filters, and of course the glass is more durable... and much more expensive than the plastic. After reading several reviews, the reality finally hit me..."How often am I really going to be using these...really?? I decided that it wasn't going to be a great percentage of the time... and when I do, it will be for a specific purpose and series of shots... mostly on a tripod. So the chance of damage is minimized... and I just need to think about what I'm doing... it's not like a skylight or UV where, for the most part, you are leaving it on to protect the lens... ALL of the time. Filter storage is a sturdy fold-over design with hooknloop closure and the filters come in individual clear sleeves that are reuseable if you are careful with them... I have had no problems with the filters getting scratched so far... they are in my kit (3 different diameters to cover my normal lenses and 3 steps ea.) just for the eventuality that I find I am in the situation that I need them... for the price I couldn't beat them. Remember that in the early days of photography, as well as many pro's today, they used gelatin filters ALL the time, not glass.... so yes, they are plastic.

The lens covers I received were plastic and were the same good quality level as the ones I removed to install these. I would definitely recommend these.

I don't remember if they were plastic. But if they were, their well constructed. I didn't use the brackets. Just placed the new headlights into my existing brackets. The headlights were definitely brighter than the old yellowed lenses and are still holding up well after a year. Nice that they came with the bulbs too.

Lense is plastic. But thick and pretty scratch proof. I don't think it's convex, pretty flat on the face. I'm very happy with it though. Went in a '81 Kawasaki KZ750 and with a Silverstar bulb is a 1000% upgrade over stock sealed beam. I like it...

Plastic. These things WORK. They are easy to put on also. I just ordered a second set. Worth the money.

Yes the lenses are glass and of very good quality. They are very close to the original headlight assembly.

ours are definitely plastic, which is what I prefer - in our household glass would break sooner rather than later... these still look very nice, not at all foggy or scratched.

They are plastic lenses. If you order 2 identical sets in the different strengths you can unscrew and trplace the lense

The Black and clear part of the loupe are plastic. The lenses are glass. It works really well.

Plastic lens...recommend a bead of silicone around it to waterproof. Also remove round sticker on back for cooling.
