Posted by Strauss, May-18-01 03:16 AM
I'm shopping for some projector headlights for my 95 Eclipse. I've tried calling New Edge and I always just get their answering machine. And they don't return my calls. I need your guys help!! Thanks...

Get 97-99 style. They don't make a 95-96 style projector. If you get the 97-99 style, they will leave a small gap between the light and the bumper cover on the innermost edge of the headlamp, as 95-96 light extend further towards each other than 97-99 lights do.

yeah unless you find one of those rare sets that was made for the 95/96, you will have to go with the new ones. i have only seen two sets of the 95/96 projectors and they looked alot better than the new ones, but what can you do. get the 99's and a new bumper

get the new ones, then get u a new front. Or a little expensive, but damn. Anyone seen that Nissan Silvia Headlight conversion? It looks sweet and aggressive on our cars.

OK, so let me get this straight. DarkOne, you said the 97-99 lights WILL fit on my car. If so, how big is the gap that you are talking about? Will it look shitty. I don't know what to do. I don't have the $$ for a new front end, so I need to know what to do. Thanks a lot guys....

jZa,
What is that pic suppose to show (find the other one).

Straus,
Look at a 97-99 front bumper, the inside coners of the lights are shaped different than the 95-96. I have that crap fogging going on and was looking into getting new lights and I thought the 97-99 front lights looked better than 95-96. As said before the gap left from the bumper will look like sh!t. Check and see if your local performance store can order the 95-96 projectors for you. Only problem is that they probly won't have a model to show you, so you won't know exactly what they look like.

Sorry Straus.. i don't check this section much.

The 97-99's will fit, but will leave maybe .5-1.5" of gap between thier inner edge and the front bumper cover. The drawback: if you stay with the stock front end, you'll have a gap. The benefit: Almost all aftermarket Eclipse fronts are based off the 97-99 style. Your projectors won't be foggy.

It's all about what you wanna do. Stock headlights are $350 a piece..

I think that I read about somebody putting the 97-99 projectors behind the stock lens. Probably not a good thingif they are fogged up, but I guess it worked.
I dunno... just a thought.
