97-99 Head Lights or Custom Enterprise Euro Clear ?

Should I get the 97-99 Headlights or the Custom Enterprise Euro Clear/Black Headlights or just leave them the way they are? Do they fit right or do I gotta do some cutting and drilling for the 97-99's and Custom Entereprise ones? Is there any different out between the headlights I got and those? Thankyou very much.

Don't get them from CE, Ebay is cheaper.

I just installed some crystal clear headlights this evening that I got from ebay and I'm pretty sure they are the exact same ones CE sells. They are indeed an exact fit on the 95-96 with no modifications at all. I also got clear corners last week from ebay as wel that are the same as the CE ones. Neither is the "JDM black". Clear corners courtesy of procarparts.com and headlights are from optionracing.com. 0 fittment or build quality issues. They are not OEM but hey aer good quality aftermarket replacements.

Get the "Crystal Clear" from CM. It is made out of glass, I messaged them. The ebay ones are ABS Plastic. It's made for our 95-96. I currently have the 97 Euroclear ones, but I will be selling my dual HID Lens setup for the Glass lens from CM when I get that retroed. I just think glass is better IMHO.

I got mine from ebay and installed them yesterday. They are GLASS not plastic. They are a perfect fit on the '95-'96 without modifications. Not all of the ebay ones are, but the ones I specified definately are. They are the same as the ones from CE and I got them for $160 shipped.

Who did you order from? I emailed Motorsporthouse, which their pictures looks like CM, with no lines going across like the plastic ones, and they emailed back saying it was ABS Plastic. If you are correct, then its best to email the seller what type of lens it is. If I knew they had it in glass a few months ago, my retro would been done with it.

I'd grab regular 97-99 used headlights, refinish them to like new and grab the corners from fleabay or CM. Get the CM ones only if they're cheaper than the price of refinishing 97-99 ones, reason being is that they're still not 'ae'd properly' IMHO, the inside of the light is unpainted.

See post #6 above. I simply looked throught the ebay auctions of the ones that fit my application and asked them whether the lenses were made of plastic or glass. Option Racing told me that they were glass and they are. They fit great and look great. They have the 95-96 type reflector housing though which is a tube type instead of the cap type on the 97-99's. That may be fixable though. I just haven't gotten around to it because I just got them in a couple of days ago.

Cool. My cystal clear corners from CM had condensation issue, which I will resolve myself when the weather is warmer this year. I just ordered mines from CM since some of the ebays one can actually cost more, and it takes one day delivery from CT to RI. I am still happy with my CM despite the small issue that I can take care of myself.
