look real nice, but will probably be cheaper and be better quality if you get them custom done by Jnc

What year is your car? I believe that if these are Type-S lights, they will not work on earlier years, but I'm not 100% on that.

Very nice if you want cleared type-s headlights. You probably will never have to worry about fogging.

But if you want things done to it that require opening again (such as ZKW lenses), then you're back to square one.

Those ebay lights come with clear (non-fresnel) lenses.

Those look like USR headlights. The only think I've always wondered is do the aftermarket headlights actually come with the Factory Bi-xenon projectors or just some cheap know offs.

Yeah i was looking into zkw lenses i was doing some research last night and apparently they have some new ZKW-R lenses. I dont know the difference but i might have JNC smoke my orange turn signals to match the same color as the smoked side markers on the TLS

Make sure the projectors are a TRUE TL projector before going to buy ZKW lenses. Might be a waste of money if they're completely different and the ZKWs vocals are all out of whack. I'd talk to JnC since I'm sure he's messed with a couple aftermarket headlights.
New ZKW-r lenses? I only know of Matt from TRS to sell purple tinted lenses which were only a limited supply, perfect conditioned lenses, and near perfect conditioned. I know there was a thread on HIDplanet about lens engraving but not sure if he was going to do this service.

I was just wondering what about these headlights makes you say you'll never have to worry about fogging? as opposed to say getting them done by JnC?

I think he's referring to having them opened up or not. Most people go through JnC to get them cleared out. Buying these will make you less prone to fogging because they're already basically cleared out so you don't need them opened up as opposed sending them to JnC to open your current ones, even though you shouldn't have any issues either with fogging. I believe JnC does a good job sealing them back up so they don't leak.
