if you're not in the market to do the full S14A conversion, the british 200SX Silvia 94.5-96.8 lights are glass instead of the plastic.you will have to modify the bulb angle slightly to avoid blinding oncoming traffic though.

What about anything for the S13? I've got a '91 and I can't stand those bugeye flip-ups. i've seen miatas around with a conversion to keep the lights from flipping up totally, anyone know of somethinglike this for our cars?

Do you know of a place online that might sell these? New or used, i don't care. I have wanted some for a long time and just havent ever seen a place that sells them. I might not need it, because a friend of mine is going to japan for 2 years in a couple weeks, and he is going to get me some stuff, but just in case, i would like to know a place online that sells those headlights.

hmm, possibly. Can you see if he can locate any of those headlights from a wrecked silvia? I dont really want to buy brand new. they will probably cost an arm and a leg!

no i want the Zenki headlights. the JDM ones are glass, so i want them.

creophus, take some fingernail polish remover and some cotton balls and clean them that way. that, or get some like MOTHERS or MEGUIARS glass polish or something and that works too.

actually its the EDM ... or British 200SX like Aries mentioned, that has the Glass version.

I cleaned my headlights with chrome polishing compound ... someone also posted a "How-to" on thos subject, might want to look that up.

we can always go S15-Sil-80. one of the cars most awesome forms IMO. 'course the parts still cost more than the car..
