You need to fix that bent up license plate.

so making the front headlights one piece really makes that much of a difference? i guess id have to see it in person b/c the pics i see, theres doesnt seem to be too much of a difference.

If you have a 90-94, the JDM lights look better (and more importantly function better than the especially crappy 90-92 North American lights). The beam pattern was very tight and much more light ouput in my opinion. Unfortunately, in order to pass the BC provincial 'safety' inspection I had to replace the JDM lights on my Celsior with North American units. Bummer!

But do be advised that technically you will be shining some light up and into oncoming drivers since they have their tip up beam (ie what illuminates road signs to the side of the road) designed for RHD traffic. That is why they are technically illegal for road use in any place that requires DOT/SAE conforming headlamps (most of USA and Canada). Odds of being busted for that in a LHD car is pretty rare though I would imagine...

my car is a 92 (as it says in my sig)and the headlights do suck....

yea, you're gunna see a decent improvement in light output since the bulb type switches from H3c (or H3, cant remember for 1st gen) to the 9003/h4 bulb.

you will need to mess with the harness to make it work, i think brandicus had a thread on what you needed to do.

LOL,, that is an old pic before I got better looking plates,,, that license plate has been gone.

The light output is definately improved, the car I threw pics up above is my 92. You will have to convert the wiring harness from an H3 to an H4 harness. There was a thread done for this,,,

The current fog lights you have will fit perfectly in the new lights, so no conversion needed there at all. Asthetically, you will notice the unsightly line/gap disappear from between the headlights/foglights as it is all one piece now. It still maintains seperate compartments within the light itself. Functionally, you will immediately notice that the light output will be alot better, more brighter, and the beam pattern will be a whole lot more sharper. You will have to do some adjustments to them and aim them downward a little so that you are not hitting people in the face with them. For the price you can get them,,, go for it. You will be alot happier.

Are you kidding me? You can't even get these lights that cheap in Japan. You should have bought them like last week...
