If you have a 92-94. Yes it will look good. But aim it low so that you wont blind people on the road if you don't wanna do a retrofit. The cut off line wont be as sharp as retro fit but it's similar to the stock beam pattern.

Here's a pic of my 92 with plug and play. Notice the bleeding on the top of the beam. It's blue but it does not bleed as much as it happens on some cars.


Here, is another plug and play... This one gives off major glare that blinds people.


And this one is the retrofit. The one with the sharp cut off. I'd like this but I don't have the time and money to do a retrofit. One side headlight on only.

The retrofit will give you the best light output. My pic looks like little light output because I parked the car too close to the garage door compared to the 3rd pic.
The last two pictures are from intellexual.net.

retrofit is easy but time consuming. I have done about 5 retrofits so far and played with so many projectors. PM me if you need more help, I'll guide you through it step by step.
