I was thinking of going from my stock 95-96 front to a stock 97-99 front.

Headlights, bumper, clear corners, fog lights, RM lip spoiler, everything. But I wanted to make sure that the stock 97-99 fogs would use the same wiring as the 95-96 ones. Also, any experience with projector headlights? Ive seen them range anywhere from 175-400 bucks. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks.

***Also, if you happen to be selling a stock fron (black) let me know.***

 

[Airpoppoff]

yes the fogs use the same wireing...

 

[Blk95gs]

thanks, i found some guy selling the entire stock kit (front, rear, sides, reverse lights) for 250. I should be getting it if he can hook it up with pics.

 

[guedo512]

wow thats pretty good

 

[BlueSexMachine]

Do you really need the fogs?

My roomate has projectors on his GST spyder and they suck man if i was you id stick w/ the OE 97-99 lights.

i dont have the foglights, i think it looks diffrent so i like it....

 

[quwhees99]

something is wrong if you're getting projections for 300-400

i have them....can't see $h!t in at night with them.

i'd either get the OE headlights OR look at the projection gen. 2
they look sweet

 

[Blk95gs]

ok thanks, hey i didnt know so i figured id ask. has anyone removed the amber lens on the stock lights? if so, does it still look good?

 

[Airpoppoff]

on the 98 headlights or the 95 headlights??????

 

[Blk95gs]

97-99, not the 95's

 

[Airpoppoff]

yeah it can be done, have to be very careful though, dont wanna break those things

 

[Blk95gs]

one more thing

do the stock 97-99 side skirts fit directly onto my 95? mine are junked and i want new ones. anyone?

 

[16g-95gsx]

Dont remove the amber lense on the headlights. I'll let you know right now. I did that on my car and sure enough one month later during inspection time the bastards caught it, and called me out on it. I had to completely redo the process backwards and reinstall the amber part. If it wasnt illegal it'd be a good idea.

 

[Blk95gs]

i dont have to get my car inspected unless i sell it, and even then i dont have to. that sucks though.

Yes, and it looks awesome. Not too hard to do, either. Don't mess with the projectors, just do this:

This and some Mother's Mag/Aluminum polish will net you a hot set of headlights for about $5.00. Just replace the turn bulb with an amber bulb, and you should be fine. And you can still see!

I have a 95 eclipse RS and I am looking for 97-99 body conversion where can I get one?? and if I bought a 97-99 would the body shop have to shave the bumper to fit along with rear bumper and side skirts to fit...I need help..plz..thankz

 

[Lethal GST]

straight swap, you just need 97+ headlights.

so if if bought a front and rear bumper and side skits and headlights for 97-99 it should all bolt on or would there be some shaving to bumper?

 

[greyforestgst]

shaving for the bumper to fit your 2ga headlights

and you wouldnt have backup lights. not sure why youd want to do the rear or sides; they look only marginally better on the 2gb.

hmm what do you mean I wouldn't have Reverse lights?!?! sorry I am kinda a newbie to my car I know some things about it..not to sure about your abbr..sorry i think they mean 2ga is 2nd gen 95-96 and 2gb means 2nd gen 97-99 right?? hmm well anyways I don't like my back bumper that much and I want it to look like a 97-99 eclipse..so I would have to have a body shop shave the front bumper so the headlights will fit..so the Rear and sides should fit on?!?...thankz for the help

 

[ECLIPSE95]

or I might trash the whole Idea and get APC headlights for a 95-99 and get a blitz kit for my which I think may be a better choice to do with my money...
