1. Park your SC.
2. Stand 10 feet away from your car, facing the front end.
3. Compare the color between lenses of low beam headlight and that of high beam's.

If high beam lenses are significantly more cleaner/clear compared to low beam lenses, then you have glass lenses. If they're about the same yellow/discolored shade, you have plastic lenses.

Unless somehow high beams are altered on your 94 SC, you should have plastic lenses. Only at model year 95 did Lexus upgraded the lenses to glass.

Glass High beams came on '95-'00 SC's only...What's wrong with having plastic high beams?
