Are the european glass headlights really worth $400-500 or should i just stick with what i have?

cc4usmc

Totally a matter of opinion.

umm depends if your headlight is all dull and if your willing to fork out 400 bucks for cleaner glasses that wont turn dull. Id say performance first before headlights imo if you havent already that is.

i own a set of these headlights...definitely worth the money imo, they wont dull or turn green...and the light output is a lot better than the plastic headlights that are offered here in the states.

alright. cause i can't see anything out of my headlights right now. its not so much as performance for me right now as getting me to school and back.

cc4usmc

Well.. you could always buy a set of headlights that aren't as bad as yours. Or, you could clean the ones you have.

enkei2k

you should be asking that yourself. I mean what's the point of asking here? Some people can afford to dish out $400+ for glass headlights. In the end its your money.

i have them in my project car. i love them.
i will probably buy a set for my new daily. but not a priority right now.
i have other things witch are more important.
i cleaned my current ones. looks so much better.
cost me $30 and an hour of my time.
will clean again for better results.

being able to see at night is definately is a priority.
i suggest you try cleaning first.
if does not work, maybe try to source a cleaner set.
or bite the bullet and buy euros.

you'll be happy with them for sure.
but ultimately, it comes down to money for most people.

sb253

i used a buffing wheel on a drill and Mothers aluminum polish. Took less than 5 min a side

nismo tuned s14

Definitely worth the money. It makes any Zenki look 100x better. I love mine.

captainfalco

Has anyone ever tried putting that X-pel stuff on their lights after cleaning them? I'm thinking it might preserve them for a while longer.

I have a super clean set of stock USDM Zenki headlights, and was pretty happy about them...

... until I saw Duffman's glass ones - they're just a whole 'nother degree of clean. Especially with a car like his (stock aero, slammed), where the little things like that stand out, it looks awesome.

The fact that the light output is better is nice too

I meant ask in my thread but it got gayed up. Is their any advantage to retrofitting the Euro lights vs the USDM lights?

I bought brand new usdm from the dealer and had them covered in the clear film still looks brand new like the day I got it.... I'm sure if you polished yours and put the film over it would yield the same results as brand new.

I recently purchased a set of euro zenki headlights for 350
brand new on eBay!! I am excited to we the results on my
Zenki

mavericksniper

tell me how they look. I almost bought those too. The euro lights need some kind of different wiring right?

Suzukini

I just installed mine this weekend.
Worth it for sure if you've got the extra spending cash. It's true, you could spend your money on your engine, but cmon...its pure sick!
Here is a comparison pic.

beautiful.


The only down side is Im not sure how i like the color/ style mismatch b/t the corners and the headlights. Im thinking of going amber on the sides.


And a few shots i took today.

I have an RB25det wireing harness that comes with both a connection for the USDM light and the euro light. I have no clue if the KA or SR harness is any different at all.


In this pic youll see three clip connections. The one on the right (red arrow) is for your USDM light, the one on the left (big circular one w/ no arrow pointing to it) is your high beam. and the unused one on the left (green arrow) is the clip for the glass headlight.

Check the wiring that clips into your current lights. If you see another clip thats not being used and is much skinnier (green arrow) than the one thats currently pluged in (red arrow), then its as simple as unplugging the fat clip, replacing the light and plugging in the skinney one into your glass headlights. the fat round clip w no arrow pointing to it fits directly into the glassies.

if you wire that other white socket properly, you could also adjust the height level of the headlight beam.

Good info, but your red arrow is actually pointing to the high beam in that pic.

Suzukini

Ya but the US lights dont have the motor in the housing to adjust. But the glassies do. i was thinking of getting the switch but i think i foudn it online somewhere for like 80+ bucks! Not sure its worth it unless for the "cool factor".

whoops!
