Default Trying to fit 93-94 headlights into a 91? anybody?

So I was wondering instead of having these pretty ugly headlights, I could find some better ones. Not the case... but I did find a set for a 93/94. Now i'm wondering what the difference in these lights are from the 90-92 headlights? To me it looks like only the corner lights are different? anyones help or thought on this???


Here the link to the headlights

oem vs oem, they are the same cosmetically, but they use different bulbs and the kouki model has better output or cutoff or something.

Don't bother with the 93-94 OEM LS headlights -- they are not much better than the 90-92 OEM headlights.

Buy the Eagle Eyes headlights you apparently found already. Here is a thread about them: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...agle-eyes.html

You will still have to install a H4 bulb sockets -- same as you would have to do if you installed 93-94 OEM LS headlights.

I drove a 90 LS for 13 1/2 years. I'd likely still be driving the car if Eagle Eyes had been available when I sold the car in 2003 -- the poor headlights were the primary reason I sold it ... got to old and blind to put up with them anymore.

The best you can do for a 1st gen is to get the Eagle Eyes.

Lol Jim that's a funny response. Just throw a hid kit in there an have it set up so it doesn't entirely blind everyone from the glare. That's how mine are setup. If I had the spare money I would def buy a set of eagle eyes and do a project with them.

The years which you ask about also use the same exact housing so they are interchangeable.

The Eagle Eyes are an aftermarket headlight which can be found on ebay. They are a bit different than the OEM headlights, although I don't care for them myself. To my knowledge, Python is the only one who has them installed on his LS.
