Headlight options

What options are there for 4th gen. headlights other than HID? I have seen Cefiro headlights from time to tim on ebay. Anyone have them? Do they install pretty easily on a '96? Anything else out there with more of a crystal clear look and better functional lighting?

There is probably a bunch of info on this in the stickies... (just an idea).

Some options:
1. Switch to 97-99 (plastic lens based lights)
2. Do 9007 conversion
3. HID retro (need 97-99 lights first)
4. Cefiro (various available, fitment varies)
5. AE mod

Sylvania Xtravisions give out good output, stay away from the tinted light bulbs.

angel eyes are you changing the headlights to just look better? in that case i would say get 97-99 assemblies. They look much nicer with the clear lenses. Ther are pretty much necessary for anything else i.e: AE, HID's, angel eyes. 9007 would work in either headlight. And that will help light output too.

You people, I'm referring to the newbies, should read the mod faq! These questions get asked everytime a newbie sets foot in this forum. The AE mod is in there too. Please, read the stickies before posting a new thread.
