The small car lenses look good but I am not comfortable taking on that installation process. The HIDS are on the "someday" list.

Re: Where can I get new headlights?
For 1992 technology they are pretty advanced and as good as anything out today. I'd say they are as good as the HID headlights in my 2006 STi, as far as light quality and output. But I have a pretty low mile 1997 model SVX. And the STi's HIDs are aimed low and HID light quality is really not that great for road illumination... the color temp is too high.
So to say the SVX lights "suck" is pretty funny... |

I may give the gloss black paint a try in the interim, what the hell.

The 9005 has 1700 lumins, 70% more... The higher color temp the less lumins. When I have to drive some of my customers GMs with 8000-12000K, night driving is absolutely dangerous!

Re: Where can I get new headlights?
What do you pay for the glass set?
Are your lights required to orient left, or right?

Re: Where can I get new headlights?
Ours point slightly to the left - so may not be suitable for your market - but I do have a set of USA (plastic) ones - I was kind of hoping to "install" the fog lamps into my original NZ set (we do not get that option here, but can see no way of opening up the glass to remove the metal barrier where lamps & fittings would go?.

Re: Where can I get new headlights?
If you could get German glass headlights, they will point the same as ours.
