*post pics* acrylic vs diamond cut headlights

so I want to change my crappy 95 head lights to 97-99's. I just talked to Ken at Jerome Nissan and in his catalog there are two types of headlights. They are the 1)multireflector headlamps and 2) non-multireflector head lamps.

Now I know from reading the MODS How2 sections that there are the 1) acrylic and the 2)diamond cut types of 97-99. Which one corresponds with Ken's catalog description?

Please post your pics so I can decide which looks better!!!

Note: I don't plan on changing my cornering lamps to the 97-99 at this time.

I know the acrylics have the two lines through them and the diamond cut are clear little squares. I'd like to see what they both look like on maxes!!!

thanks guys I appreciate your responses!

-Rowan

Oh, I get it now.
Cool, I am glad I have a 99. IMO...they lood better and are probably better for showing more light.

Looks like a s14 silvia , or a s14 conversion prelude


I didn't know that the 97-99 had much better headlights.

Is the 97-99 headlight swap simple and straight forward? Or do I have to convert the entire front end?
