Default Early classic crystal headlights??

Does any one know if you can get crystal headlights for early classics (93-97)? Or do you have to do a facelift? Cheers

Don't think there is anywhere that does crystal lights the same shape.

You don't have to change the bonnet or grille to fit facelift headlights either.

Mine,

How do you do it without facelifting?

man you need glasses

G/F is doing the facelift headlights (scoobyparts are doing a special offer on them), but she has gone for the grille and bonnet because you get a much better fit. Hers is a 95 wrx and so she has left the bumper til later and just concentrated on the top part.

oh and if you do get the facelift headlights, make sure you know if yours is manual or automatic level adjustment. The manual ones tend to be more expensive, god knows why

I see it now . It's my mate that's thinking about it after seeing me get crystal lights for my97. Look's like he'll have to go down the facelift route!

Extra airflow/cooling into the engine bay.
