You have to cut into the fender to install these. They do look good if installed properly.

If you want 1 piece just get R34's.

I think you should just upgrade to '97-'99 headlights like I did and call it a day.

Depo lights tend to have fitment issues.

As for the foggy lights, mine are crystal clear, and they are the originals. Maybe go to some junkyards and look for lights. Search ebay, and craigslist also.

If you want to clear your foggy lenses, just clean them. Go to pep boys or whatever and get the mothers powerball.

Or you can just get new headlights.

And it's a lot easier than hacking up your fenders to make them fit.

Either one will have fitment issues if they are Cefiros.

the R34s seem to fit pretty well and look good too bad their output blows.
97-99s are nice, but for the price of them why not just go with the R34s and have a non OEM look.

That's the only reason I got the '97-'99s over the R34s, output. I got mine locally for $50 and sold my old 1s for $25 so ended up spending $25 for new headlights. I'm sure the OP can find a deal like that locally as well.

It is sort of like an altered AE mod. The only difference between the AE mod and the Cefiro mod is that the corners on the Cefiro's are completely blacked out while the reflector in the AE's gets masked off. Either way they both look good.

See sig.

Do the AE mod first, then paint the corners black later if you don't like it. I painted mine black right off the bad, and either way It only costed me $10, if you don't like it then get R34s, but after seeing your car you'd prolly want to match it w/ the black bumper lights too.
