What he said!

Welcome to Nico!

It seems like your headlights becoming a little fogged up, you should clean it up a bit!

No need to replace them unless they are damaged.You can buy some headlight cleaner compound at places like Autozone or Wal-mart and clean it up to look like new.

If you do replace them, get some JDM lights. They're glass and are super clear. Look 999999x nicer than usdm lights.

I'm pretty sure you can just buy new lenses actually. Here's a set of clear lenses. 1000x improvement.

Get the JDM windshield too. It's 999999x clearer than the usdm shield.

Haha I kid. AZ speaks the truth. Clear zenki headlights = the sex. Euro s14's have clear lenses too, as well as aftermarket companies like Final Konnexion.

s*** man, I never knew these were so expensive. I paid this much for my SILVIA headlights. Definitely try finding these used. I see them pop up every once and a while. Here's the link:

5K including tax, title, and registration?

I was going to buy the car, but decided not to buy it for a few reasons.

The engine was leaking oil and white smoke was coming out from the exhaust.

Welcome! Personally, I dont like the CLEAR lenses. They look ugly when you can see right thru them.You can buy the clear lenses here. zerothread?id=326220or sand them with ~800 and work your way up until you cant see through the cover. Then polish/buff. And they will be CLEAN. Hope that helps! -Arash

AZ89, you're completely wrong about the JDM headlights. They are plastic just like the USDM ones. If you want the glass headlights you have to get the German headlights...

The only "clear" headlights are the ones that have aftermarket lenses put in. Everything else has fluting.

The car looks good, don't wrap it around a tree trying to be a mad tyte drifter on the streets.

nice pick up man. i'm kinda pissed i sold my car for only 500 more than what you paid for a stock auto car. mine was just as clean if not cleaner and had susp/wheels as well as 5 spd. honestly you paid about 1500$ more than the fair price but as long as you're happy with it that's all it matters.
