    Um some cars from 95-01 had different headlights and hoods to accomodate. Not sure if those will fit.

    They look pretty nice, but its hard to tell off the car.

    See if you can find a pic of someone who has mounted them.

    I wouldnt waste my money, but that's me. I cannot imagine those will provide any worthwhile light output upgrade over stock. Also, the auction ad mentions nothing about HID.

    Save yer money sir!

    I agree with what Alex said, don't waste your money. I still think they might look good, but to me unless they actually provide superior visibility, they aren't worth it.

    He can't do much for my car. And unfortunately my front lenses are scratched to all hell so it's not worth retrofitting projectors in them. Now if someone knows how to de-scratch headlights, we're in business.

    sand them with sandpaper in increasing degrees of numbers. Theres some how-to's out on the net so look into those before going out and sanding your lights.

    Those things are probably thrown together on an assembly line somewhere in Japan.

    Just remember youre gonna get what you pay for.

    Xan mate, have a look through the salvage yards for some wrecked suby's and go pick yourself up a set of RS lights. The best ones available to be honest.
