It's a custom mod. You either make them yourself or look in the classifieds and wait for someone to sell theirs.

Some say the AE mod on headlights from '95-'96 aren't as effective as AE moded '97-'99 because the headlight is glass rather then plastic and isnt as clear.

i suggest saving yourself the money and doing it yourself. itll only cost 5 bucks to get a can of high temp spray paint. compared to like 50 bucks for a set of headlights. i did it to my old set of headlights and i liked it.

If you really dont feel like doing it yourself I did it to mine and you can buy them. I did it after I got Cefiros so they havent been used since I did it.

Lunatic, you're right. they don't like as nice on the 95-96's. too bad. it looks great on the 97-99's! looks like i'll have to change my headlights and grill to the upgrade!

i agree than the effect on 95/96 are not apparent enough.. you may try switching to 97-99 headlight which gives you better effect.. but it would prolly take some mods.

I'm sorry, but you have to bake them.

Follow these instructions on vqpower.com

it's the same **** man for any headlight. throw it in the oven and bake. just dont leave it in there for too long and melt anything.


and 4.5 gens? didnt know there existed such a thing.
