headlight poll

i want to get rid of my stock 95 headlights for clear ones but im unsure if i should get the clear headlight corner combo like ce used to have or if i should get the r34 1 pc found on ebay. ive read about the beam pattern being horrible on the r34 set and thats why im hesitant to go with those. i do plan on an hid upgrade once i get the headlights however i wont be doing a projector retro for a while. would just like to know what everyone else thinks.

1 piece look much better IMO. If you plan on retrofitting them def get the R34 type.

Just try to find some CE style ones on Ebay (but that may be hard). They look good and actually give out good light.
I really don't like the R34 lights, to me they don't flow well with the car, IMO.

the R34 if you truly are going to retrofit it. If not, go with cefiro headlights.

If you don't want projectors than don't get the r34s. They need to be retrofitted to have nice beam pattern. Don't get Cefiro's. They require you to mod a little and will not allow you to buy another set of headlights in the future. Things will be cut and shaped so r34s and regular stock lights will not fit after using them. See what you can find online, if it comes to it, get the r34s and deal with the crappy beam pattern till you can retro them. It's not like you cant see anythign with the r34s, just not a good pattern.
