I'm debating replacing my 95-96 style headlights with either the 97+ style or maybe something along the lines of the following...
I have the 97+ styled talon and i love the bumper so if i go with the 97+ lights I'll have that slight gap which will probably be ok as I did it with my 95 eclipse and bumper and it looked good.

If you go with the projector headlights, get an HID kit as well. The projector lights don't light up as well as the OEM reflector headlights. That, and the OEM headlight height adjustments are easier. I had the black versions of the the lights you pictured, and they were hardwired due to the lack of OEM plugs. I'd say polish up the OEM lights and get the protective film on them, maybe even get the smoked film.

I was curious if any of these projector headlights were ever improved on since years ago and it seems they have not. I would like to later do HID as well.. would it be better to do the HID in projector style or the oem?
Also any comments on going 97+ style headlights with the 2gb talon front?
this is a picture of my 95 when I changed over to the 97 style with my 95 front bumper and I kind of liked it.

I`d keep the OEM lights and get an HID kit. But be sure cops around where you live don`t mess with aftermarket HID kits first. Reflector headlights don`t focus the beam like projector lights. Instead they scatter the light and may make it look like your running high beams, depending what kit you run. But it really depends on the cops. If they`re cool, they`ll leave you alone. But if they`re not, they`ll just try to bust you for anything.

Bake them and paint the housings black. Aftermarket projectors suck ass.

Based on your pictures of the 2gb headlights matched with the 2ga front, id say keep the headlights the bumper is designed for, that gap is too much for my liking.
