Second. Be careful people on here tend to bash aftermarket parts. I ordered these, will try them out. They gotta be better then the hazed over stocker.

When it comes to headlights....most "bashing" comes into play when people get aftermarket 'projector style' headlights (crap) and/or toss PnP HID's into housing made for halogens (crap).


OP: For stock like performance (using stock lighting), I'm sure those would be fine. As far as clear vs orange - it's a personal preference really.

A TON of people complain about crappy beam pattern on aftermarket lights. Nobody has the money to spend engineering decent aftermarket components that compete well with stock, so they go for appearance.

Then there is this. The ONLY way to do HID's is retrofit a decent projector.

These are pretty close to the second ones and I like them a lot. But mine is a '95. Just make sure you adjust them properly
