Default Aftermarket headlights for pre-facelift???

Been looking at replacing the headlights in my Ver 2 STI RA and found a few on EBay.

Only problem is every set I have looked at require that you have the facelift grill and bonnet!!

Are there any decent replacements out there that don't require all the facelift parts?

Mate,

you can fit the facelift lights and grill to a pre-facelift without needing a facelift bonnet.

I did this to my 93wrx

Why???????
A classic early WRX looks so good. I ripped the star trek lights off my Ra when I bought it and it looks so much better "as nature intended"
Well, thats my opinion.

You don't need a new grille or bonnet ...they'll still fit (although your grille wont look great)

Only after market lights that really improve things are Morette's imo

Because the OEM lights are useless perhaps?
