it's gay how they make alteazza rear lamps for every car on the planet but can't make an economic aftermarket head light with euro lenses w/o spending more than the whole assembly on just the friggin lense.

it's gay how ignorant people say things without thinking first. LMAO j/k

Making headlights for a 10 year old reborn niche car is not profitable. Just because 240sx's became popular again because of D1 and a cartoon, it's still a small market compared to your general Honda/Acura population.

An aftermarket headlight with the bubble level and the rest of the over-complicated crap on the housing just makes it more non-profitable.

Before you reply, think.

Euro/German Headlights:
glass lens, RHD beam pattern, 1 piece reflector(?)

BTW starter/alternator went out so I can't get these now. Someone else make an offer the seller is a good guy.
Hey does anybody actually have the Euro/German Headlights? Was wondering if they turned "yellow" as easily as the plastic ones.

Negative - at least from all I've seen. The glass holds up to the elements much better than plastic (ex: glass side windows vs. plastic rear windows on convertibles)

hmm... thanx for the info. Now I just gotta go find somebody in Germany to hook it up~ lol. ACTUALLY, is there anybody who speaks/reads German around here? I wonder if it'd be possible for someone to order them from a German site or Nissan parts dealer in Germany...

No, they don't of course. You pay for the convenience - just like any other imported thing. Either you fly there yourself, buy one, bring it back (possible customs alert)

or

you find someone who happens to be there to buy them for you, with which they still would have to ship international to get the parts too you

or

buy them from someone in your country who has them in stock.

Which is more convenient?

raceon has copy FK's, but their price comes out to the same if you were to order them from Japan... and it's funny how raceon says that it may take "from 7 to 60 days" to get or something ROFL
