Default Back to stock.....

............headlights. My sister didn't mind me trading the black housing headlights I have for her headlights. I plan to get an hid kit sometime and it would not work on the black housings because of the "9006J" bulb that I had trouble with when I first got them...and they probably wouldn't work too well with the dimmed housing. I'm going down to Kmart later to get some double sided tape so I can put those eyelids back on.... Gonna give the car a wash and then post up some more pics. wheeeeeeeee

Juan, I didn't know your sister also has an ES. What year is hers?

The "new" stock headlights look pretty good from the photo. You are most likely aware of the hazing/yellowing problem typical on most of the '92-'96 ES, so better keep your headlights looking polished and clean I'd get my hands on Meguiar's PlasticX or 3M's Plastic Cleaner and Polish applicants. Best products for those headlights IMO.

That was only my second concern.... Both 9006 and 9005 hid kits won't work on the jdm headlights. Nice sig you got there btw HB...

Doug, my sister has a pearl white 1995 ES...Yes, I am aware of the yellowing lens, these ones have them, but they aren't too bad. That was one of the advantages of blacked housings, you can't tell that the lens is yellow. I have the Meguiar's Plastix and also Meguiar's #13 plastic cleaner in my cabinet....

edit
Saw some clouds in the sky so I decided to hold off on the wash for a little bit... Pics soon
