Your model and later ones have very minor grooves. Check out the 95-97 lenses. With yours we can see the bulbs and the area inside, but with 97 and down, you can't see the bulbs or anything in the headlight assembly. I want the clear looks like yours.

was thinking about doing it but i kinda wanted some color to the car too, didnt want just black everywhere, oh yeah caliness sorry about the pricing for the front end, i really figured its gonna cost too much just to convert the headlights, but if interested i can still get everything done for u.

I figured it will cost too much. I'm just going to install HID's instead of changing the front end. I would rather trade my car in for a newer model if I wanted it that bad.

But, yeah I like the look on your car. Looks great!
Do you have angel (halo) eyes on your headlights?
