you won't find any in here since it will cost you a fortune to get a pair(at least you can something else from that). your best bet will be have/make a friend's friend who live in Germany or UK and willing to buy a set for you. If i remember it right, the best one to go will be from Germany since they have the same light pattern as we do on cars. or you can special order it from japan or HK to custom make some lens for you. IMO the Euro housing looks tight but it's not worth the big bill (costily spell?? and time consuming). hope this help.
OH, maybe next time search it before asking because this question have been asked over and over again. Search button is faster and easier than wait for someone response to it. :P

Someone *HAS* to have a Nissan OEM part number available. If you have that, you should be able to get them with relative ease.

i went to the closest (sp??) dealer a while back and asked for the headlight part no. You know what they said? they told me there are 3 different parts no. for the headlight. i was like wat?? and the guy who work there don't even know which one is the glass one (maybe none of them are, but who know, i can't order all 3 of them to check (poor me)). so like eric said, make sure you get the right no. before you get it.

I did a search and I read them but no one talked about importing them for the people her in the US. So I am smart enough to do the search but no one really has went the extra mile to import the lights and tried selling them here? At least not yet? That was what I kind of wanted to know. Sorry

How much are you willing to spend?

I am sure they would be absurdly expensive after paying for Nissan OEM, then to ship. I am also curious how much people are willing to pay because I took an internship with a company in Germany this summer....

here is the problem:

1-2 years ago, Eurospec lights went for around $600-$700 shipped. $600 was considered a good deal. Now apparently the Euro is strong and the Dollar is weak so people aren't willing to sell them at that price. You're probably looking at $650-$700

$700 for a pair of lights. thats if you REALLY like zenki headlights.

quick comparo:
Kouki headlights $400 new (glass)
s15 headlights $500-600 (glass)
Kouki s14 conversion anywhere from $1000-$1500

so $700 for a pair of lights is relatively expensive and not worth it. Especially lights for a front end style many people don't like. A few more bills will get you a kouki conversion.

2nd thing: those of you with zenki lights who've been in a front end accident know what i'm talking about here. Zenki lights are EXTREMELY fragile. The inside mounting bracket that attaches to the frame is made of plastic. I bought a brand new pass headlight for my car, that bracket broke when i had a fender bender that didn't break anything else. I've seen many headlights that are perfectly fine except that part broke off. Its an easy fix but still, if you're going to pay $300 for one headlight, its an investment you'd want to protect.

Alternative: new US OEM headlights. they look nice, and you can get them for $350 for the pair new. If you take care of them they'll never yellow and look almost as clear as glass ones.

Do you know the cleaner or wax that I can use that will bring back the shine in the headlight cover.
