New Headlights

Original Thread posted in 2002 section. However, I doubt most people check there regularly, so I thought I would post a link here as well. Thanks for any thoughts on the matter.

New Headlights for the 2002

How long do you plan on having the car for... 5+ years?
Seems like it would be best to go with the cheapest ones, unless if you plan on keeping this car for a long time with a lot more night use.

I don't ever plan on selling the car. Eventually after I graduate college I will be restoring everything to original condition or better.

If you have the money, why not get the hellas? It might even save you money in the long long run.

The money isn't the issue at all. I just wanted some other opinions. There really isn't a point in paying the extra money if the lighting difference isn't going to be huge.

It's hard buying parts for the 2002 since there is such little information out there. Most people who own and fix them up just got for stock OEM parts. So finding reviews on the upgrade parts is difficult to say the least.

Seems like after market is easier since you just replace the bulb, not the whole unit. it might save you a headache in the future

Those are HELLA headlights right? I would definetely get them. I personally consider HELLA to be the best automotive lighting company.

Hellas. Couple of reasons: they're lead crystal lenses vs reg glass, they're not sealed beams (so they won't fail everytime there's a major temp change), and the distance factor is "mucho grande". It's well worth the investment.
