i have a 95 s14 240 and my headlights are the icky plastic ones that fade and yellow and fog up and when i go online to look for the glass variant they go for $500!!! no joke why are they so expensive? anyone know where to get headlights?

i wonder if this is still going on, i'll take some

i also heard that with the aftermarket stuff i have to put silicone sealant so it doesnt fog up, where do i apply it?



and theres not much options for aftermarket tail lights either prob the altezza variety and the LEDs but that's it although i did find one style that caught my eye but i havennt seenn any pics of a 240 with these lights. anyone know what manufacturer are these?? though it could use a different center garnish maybe one that matches the paint of the car or all black

mind you im pretty much a noob when it comes to cars. i stray far from LED lights because people been telling me that they can short out im not sure how to set up LED lights, it needs a resistor or something?

Those OEM-style Kouki tail lights with the LEDs are fine. Plenty of ppl use them and they look the best. Forget paying $500 for the German glass headlights. Just replace your fluted headlight lenses with the Circuit Sports clear lenses. These look better than the glass headlights anyways.
