dude i had angel eyes they suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u wanna make ur lights look better her is a great ideah
take ur old head lights
pre heat oven to 350
remove the silver clamps over the head lights
put head lights in the oven for about 5 mins basicly u do this to heat the glew
remove from oven pull apart
paint the projecter black
put back together put in oven agian to reheat glew



Looks great!!!

i have a 96 rs and i'm doing a 97 conversion i was wondering instead of getting the 97 oem headlights can't i just get the 97 angel eyes?
call the number that i gave you before when you asked about the CF dash kit. that place is a warehouse. they have everything that you need for your 2G-B conversion. message me again if you lost the number.
 
the 95 -96 front bumper around the headlights is slightly diff
than 97-99 if you swap the headlights you must swap the bumper
unless you just want to trim your bumper but if not done right will
look tacky

i have a 95 and i got a 97 bodykit and had to ultimatly order new headlights
but on the issue of fitting they will bolt right up
 
yeah, ill be grabing one of them , tobad the sideskirts and the spoiler wasnt on there, ive found after market ones but not sure, my car goes to get the IPT treatment soon, and then goes the front bumper :thumb:
 
Hey there ill get right to the point, I want to get a full 99 eclipse converion all the way around on my 95 talon and I was wondering every part i eed a searched and dident find everything i was looking for, Yes i need tail lights, head lights, front and back bumper covers, I dident see anything on the hood or fenders or hatch if i needed them or different harnesses for the tails lights or head lights.

Thanks
 
I got done doing the conversion to 97+ Halo Projector Headlights and got my eclipse front end on...don't let anyone tell you otherwise..95-96 models WILL require HARD WIRING for 97+ head lights to work on your vehicle..though it really isn't that difficult.

I will post pictures tomorrow when I get a new battery in the vehicle...the battery died on me after I got the conversion complete...go figure.

Some Tips:

- you need two 9006, and two 9005 plugs to rewire your current headlights (you can pick them up at walmart for about $3.95) (If you own a 95-96 vehicle)
- 9005 is for the high beam hookup, and 9006 is for the low beam hookup
- the bottom bolts on the headlight units is probably the one you have to worry the least about..so if you lose a bolt, put on on the top and on the back of the headlight and they should be steady anyway.
- Halos are to be wired into your parking light, again a little bit of hard wiring required
- The 97+ bumper did NOT line up correctly with the 95-96 stock bumper holes..so new holes may be required to hook the bumper up.

Honestly the hardest part was trying to get the headlights lined up correctly so they didn't look funny.

I'll add some more tips when I'm not so tired...
 
You won't need to hardwire anything if you have the stock 97-99 headlights, so try not to confuse any newbs by saying ya will. Also, you have a non OEM front end, so I'd assume that it would not directly bolt up. An OEM one, however, bolts right up.
Other than that, glad to hear it worked out well, and enjoy the facelift. :thumb:
 
My 97-99 projectors plugged right in as well. Only wire I needed to hook up was for the halos. I guess it depends on which buyer you go through on eBay.

If your going with OEM 97-99 headlights, they wire in to any 2g DSM without any hassle.
 
Ok the plugs on these projectors..there is one plug for the high beam and one plug for the low beam..HOWEVER my talon setup was one three pronged adapter that operates both the high beams and low beams..there is no seperation. Maybe 95-96 eclipses are different..but this is how mine was setup.
 
Here's some of the pictures..bumper sags because right now its held on with zip ties.

The orange plug is the stock 95-96 talon headlight 3-prong plug..and the blue plug is the design for the projectors...two pong plug.

Here is my conversion, and everything was plug and play except the fog lights, had to splice the wires beacuse the plug was different. I used everything OEM. 95 Talon to 97 Eclipse..

Paul, your car is sick. I only hope my Talon turns out looking as good when I'm done with it.

Paranoid Tsi, nice work, and be sure to post before and after pictures of the car when it is painted :)
 
i did the 97 conversion on my 95 talon. the front part was all plug and play. I bought the headlights from my friend, He bought projectors and he had to do some mods to the wires to be able to install the new projectors.
im now doing the rear bumper as we speak now and that one doesnt just drop in.
 
Looks good. I am awaiting a passenger side OEM Headlight to complete mine. I can't wait. And Paul S.....Amazing what rims, a drop, and new bumper/headlight combo does to a car. Looks amazing :thumb:
 
just finished my conversion as well

I'm looking for a thread here that details what parts are needed to convert a 95 gs to a 97 front end. Would I need a new hood lights and fenders or just the bumper and lights or what, and possibly a how to on taking the bumper off. I did a search under 97 conversion but nothing came up really relevant.
 
you need the 97-99 bumper and 97-99 headlights. if you want a how to take the bumper off a chiltons/haynes will work best.

These are people who have desecrated a Talon:

Looks like they just got done having a killer party :thumb:

As for the ebay "aftermarket OEM" bumpers. everyone says they are the same minus the emblem. but is it me or does the very right and left side vents look different (compare the white one to the one above it)
 
There won't be any gap problems? So I just need the headlights and bumper? I thought that I might need fenders as well.
