Are the lenses glass or plastic?
Are they for LH or RH drive cars?

They are glass and for LH or RH cars. I don't know why there would be a difference.

The lens is cut differently on LH and RH drive cars directing the light so as not to blind oncoming traffic.
Here's a vid explaining the difference:

Good deal.
I gave my '93 coupe to my son last year.
The plastic lenses are pretty bad so I'll check with him to see if he's interested. As in has some extra cash ;-))

My son says he got his lenses pretty clear with a headlight restore kit but I'd suggest dropping this into the XJS forum. A number of people have posted looking for glass lenses but might not check the Marketplace section. Good luck finding a buyer.
