They can be molded into all sorts of weird shapes. Actual illumination of the road these days seems to be achieved by just upping the output.

They are also supposed to be "safer" because they don't break when hit bit stones. Of course, I've never had a headlight broken OUT by a stone, just some chips.

RE: you first point!
Uh! Glass is silica in a liquid state. Glass can be made into any of the same shapes as the prastic junk.
Point 1 is bogus.  Prastic may be cheaper, or may not be.

I take issue with point #2 also. The prastic surrounds on 123, 124 and 126 break far easier than the glass light

My conclusion: the prastic lenses are just one of hundreds of ways the 210, 140 and later mbs are junk.
