Yeah I got a 95 and got in a wreck, I need to replace one of the headlights. My other one is just not that clear so I was woundering if any one knew where I could get some clear looking ones. I've seen some pics of other cars that had lens that were alot clearer then the OEM. or because I"m replacing some of the front end ,should I just change over and make it look like a later s14?

I'm in the same dilemma but have learned to deal with it. You could buy a new headlight housing which is around $170 from courtesy parts. You could find someone with the same problem and trade with them (like me ;) ). Or you could try to take apart the housing and clean it up a bit. Changing to a kouki front would just be a burden with the cost of new headlights, fenders, and whatever else you need. Stay zenki, it looks better.:o

A lot of folks are opting for the european headlights, they use glass lenses that won't fog up like the plastic ones. . . Problem is they are quite spendy.

Another option, search around on the forums, there have been a few threads on how to clear up old headlight housings.

Lighter fluid works wonders too on just the out side. Gets the yellow off of the outside, alot of times just the outside is yellow. If the inside is bad too stick them in the oven for less then 10 min and pull them apart to clean the inside. For more info search.
