They say "JDM Zenki" but to me they look like ordinary US Spec headlights. Anyone wanna enlighten me?

i think there zenkis but, thei think japan and i know euro headlamps have a glass lense and i think there are less diffusers in the lense so they would appear more "clear." im gunna go with usdm.

well he may have just put that in the title so if someone searched for say zenki or 200sx or jdm that would come up so more people would "discover" it cause i didnt see nowhere in the actual description where it said thats what they where just the title i got gyped one time on a part for my crx from some guy that did something like that the part was for a civic but he put crx in the title so i asumed that it would work and it didnt and he said that it has to state that in the actual description not the title or somethin to that affect but i dont know but id say usdm

they are clean usdm lights. brand new, i believe, but not really sure. but jdm looks like that too, well they are usually uglier than that from what ive seen in japan. that's the problem bout buyin off the net, you get what you pay for. that's why i dont get **** from ebay, i will in the future, but usually i hafta be 101% sure i aint gettin ripped off or they can goto hell.

I thought so... in one of the pics one of the lights has that suspicious "yellowish" look to it, and I always knew that S14 headlights in Japan were clear lensed glass or something (you know, no ridges or patterns, i.e. late model BMW headlight assemblies)

...and the "get more suckers to look at the auction" theory is totally believable as well.

The net isn't a bad place to shop as long as you use your brain when you're shopping

yup. just a pair of new/clean usdm zenki plastic S14 lenses he even says in the description that they came from a usdm 240:
Up for bid is a used set of headlights pulled off a 96 model SE 240SX
he also lists 200SX and kouki in the title. he's just trying to get more hits on that page...
