Hey guys, got a 97 GTX, and im looking to get new headlights. Is there any sites you all would suggest? I have a very very busy schedule so retro-fitting is not an option. Halo's with HID's included would be my top option. Links would be appreciated! Thanks guys.

EBAY, outputs gonne be crap, in all honesty if your refering to yellowing i would do the HARDCORE HEADLIGHT RESTORE and buy HIDs, would look better and have better output than the EBAY ones, but that's just my .02$

Ebay. The "spyder style" headlights for these cars (excluding the first gens of them) are actually not terrible, a whole hell of a lot better than the 04+ projectors. I have them on my GF's car with 5000K HID's and the output it 10000X better than stock, and the cutout is pretty clean with no hot spots so oncoming traffic isn't being blinded.

Yeah, the 04+'s just straight up suck. The 97-03 spyder styles (the other projector styles available for those years use H3 bulbs, which are quite small and generally fog light bulbs so the output does indeed suck on those) are actually not too bad as long as you secure them in a way that doesn't allow them to bounce, but the output itself is much better than stock headlights and better than 04+ projectors. Obviously a true retro will net much better results and actually allow for a usable high beam feature, but for the price they are worth it IMO. I put some rubber washers on the mounting points of the brackets, threw some HID bulbs in, did Demon eyes not that it matters, threw them on the car and have been quite happy since. Other drivers on the road don't seem to mind either since the only time they ever flash is when the Hella Optilux folights are on which throw a crap ton of light so I'm not surprised that they are being blinded :twisted:

Do it yourself! :P If your only changing the led's its super easy, as long as you can get the housing opened up. Its a pretty fun project actually.

I think there was some vendor on here or maybe another forum that specializes in retrofits and changing led colors of different things. Ill see if i can find them.
