So I hate the yellow OEM plastic Zenki lights. I have sanded and polished until very clear and clean, that is not the problem. The yellowing/oxidation is in the plastic and I can't get the funny color out and want to look right.

I know my options like FK covers, Circuit Covers, Many other clear covers... and the beautiful German glass (love it but would rather get plastic clear covers because of price). What I want to know is what brand or type of cover you got for your Zenki, how it has held up and lastly (but most importantly) how well can you see at night on dark back roads?

My headlights looking good is something I want to do but I don't want to sacrifice visibility or quality.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks, I've been looking at those. I always try to support the NICO sponsors whenever I can. Got my redline goods shift boot (love it), my BRM exhaust (love it) and many other misc. parts over time.

Anyone have the Circuit Sports covers? How do you like them? How is your night visibility? Are you using hids or reg. Silverstar bulbs?

I will probably be buying something like the Circuit Sports clear covers that enjuku or phase2 has for $165, but before I do I need to know something that no one ever seems to clearly answer.

I'm wondering how your visibility is at night after switching to clear covers?

Seriously, I don't want to reduce my visibility over OEM. I also don't have the cash for German glass unless I can find some used and very inexpensive. I will be using standard silverstar bulbs or maybe a hid kit if it would help.

I really want to know what your clear cover set up is, how your visibility is now vs after, etc. I think a lot of us Zenki owners want to know what our visibility is going to be like before we shell out cash and regret it.

I do know they look very nice vs OEM...
