What's the big deal about glass headlights? It does make the S14b look better, but not worth the money IMO.

Yeah, but I bet he feels stupid now that he has a RHD beam pattern. Or I hope he had enough sence to buy the European 200SX lights.

Yeah i dont get anything from that pic but what your saying makes sense, but its not really a burden for me...it would be a burden for whoever is driving on the opposite side of the street as i blind them, not that half the cars on the road dont do that anyway...

That's the general pattern for their lights. European lights have those top flares going to the right. It's so you can read signs and see pedestrians better. US lights don't have the flares *I think*.

JDM S14 lights (zenki/kouki)? theyre the EXACT same as USDM (zenk/kouki) lights. the european zenki S14s had glass, thats the only different lights AFAIK. USDM lights have a right side bias, and JDM lights have a left side bias.

JDM zenki lights and corners were glass, usdm were plastic. JDM kouki lights and corners were glass and one piece. There's a huge difference for zenkis, but it's not really noticable for koukis.
