none are better

some people think the smilies are more desirable

personal preferance at end of the day

As above, it's personal preference really.

I think you'd get more money for the smileys though.

the ones on the 318 are the "newer" version of the headlights, theyre called "smileys".

The 316 "bullseye" have less of a sharp cut off than the smilies. Many people prefer thet bullseye ones. However the difference is probably very slim by now, with scrathed lenses etc etc

The idea of having a cheap car is to make your's better with the stuff you have'nt got. It all depends which one you have decided to keep but smiley's are a newer version of head light.

no you cant repair the lense, but you can transplant the glass.

Yes!

the glass can be cut off with a stanley knife.

then swap the glass / insert and use translucent silicone to glue it back together.

but Watch your fingers...
