Lightning Heads ORDERED

Ordered some lightning headlights. Just curious, do all the lightning heads have the horizontal lines on the lens? Or are there any that are 100% clear with no lines?

Always thought those lines were for aiming the headlight... Well, more so the middle line.

migdaddy, if you look closely at the second set, they are cheap knockoffs that dont even have glare covers. the first set are real copies, and mine do as well have the horizontal lines. i dont believe that they are going to do anything to your light pattern

mine:

I think that second set even has the lines, they're just harder to see due to the view. And Raptor had a good point - they don't have the glare covers either.
The second set:

The first two you posted do have the glare covers. The second two links showed pics of headlights without glare covers. Look at the difference between raptor's pic and the pic I put up on my last post. On mine (without glare cover), the bulb is just exposed. On raptor's, his bulb has the glare cover over it.
