GePa Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well my Pathfinder R50 sold as a 1998 model but mfg in 1997 has Glass Headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerch641 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I've got a 98 R50 with glass headlights. All the R50's I've seen locally and in the junkyard have the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONCEBITN Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 i thought so to but all the ones in the yards here and that i have seen are plastic, my buddys 98 qx4 is plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinpark Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The 1996 to 1999 pathfinder have glass. All qx4 have plastic because it's a different style of light. Why yours is different is strange. Can you post a picture of your truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONCEBITN Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 i took a few here they are, im not sure why there glass but they dont look like aftermarket and dont look like pathfinder ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have a set of JDM projectors sitting in my room and I'm fairly sure that they are plastic, as well as my stock lights now. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 From my understanding, face lift R50's (99.5 +) have the lexan covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanrollins0217 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It might be someone did a headlight swap to remove the stupid faded plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have the jdm projectors on mine and they are for sure glass Hmm interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONCEBITN Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 my best guess is they did some changes off and on through out the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 That's what interesting to me, i have an early model pathfinder which i'm fairly certain has plastic (OEM) lights, and then my JDM projectors are the for the updated model and those are for sure plastic. So yeah, i'm confused. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmann Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Interesting. I have to ask though, why does glass vs plastic matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkcar Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 My pre-facelift 99 QX4 has glass, I am certain because one of them is chipped. Sounds like it may be a pain to replace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yup. The plastic oxidizes and turns a nasty yellow, prone to leaking when the seal fails, and poorer beam control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONCEBITN Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 odd, oh well seems we have beat this horse to death, i just bought a 98 qx4 and it has plastic headlights, so im no where closer to understand what years had them and what didnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
