Absolutely - if they made them for the 90-93 style as well. Of course they would need to perform as well as OEM. They would certainly update the look of the car. With clear lexan lenses, I'd also be one step closer to a projection HID setup :D

Ah, lexan vs. glass. Would have to see the beam pattern.

I assume they use the same bulbs? Are there fog lights also?

Absolutely! Regardless of pricing, I would buy them. Can they be retrofitted with projectors?They're beautiful, where did you find them?

My jaw dropped when I saw these. Espically on a black 94+ like in the picture, they are friggin gorgeous.

A 94+ with these would look really modern. Enhance the grill even more.

I have contacted the seller, and am seeing if they are available for 90-93s, if so I'm going to pick them up. Which just means I wasted 80 on clear corners (ohwell)

Right now they are dirt cheap. Less then 100 for the lights and the corners.

Plus seller fees and shipping...

Allright. I will wait to hear back from the seller, and try to find out how many he has, what years they are available for, and some other final details

Stay tuned. These are the hotness

Nor shoes either! :D At least for a few months! That should cover the out of pocket expenses.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!

I would sacrifice to have those lights both front and corners.

Please let us know if they have it for the 90.

I would definately jump on that.

Just to see if they have units to match! Not critical, but it would be nice from a cosmetic perspective. Stock fogs are about $135 form Joe.

Man I love the above pic. Black grilled Q with these neeto modern lights is the height of G50 style

I don't hate on the grill, it's just that all grills for 90-93s look cheap and aftermarket cause they are. They don't come as part of the hood, and I hate that cheeseball aftermarket look

The impull grill is in its self nice, but it looks like a pop on. Not to mention it costs over $1,000 dollars (LOL)

If I had the resources I'd do this:

Take a black 94

Drop my 92 engine in the 94Take out all the customer leather seating and door panels, put them on the 94Put the impul sideskirts,rear bumper, and touring wing and put them on the 94Put some sort of aggressive front bumper on the 94possible black out the grill

The 94 is better looking all in all. I just appreciate why the 90-93s were designed like they were. Although I really really like the ultra clean lines of the rear o the 90-93. All in all the lines are more cleaner I think, but the 94+ grill wins out for looks. Espically considering these lights make the car look very modern

Which means they have the beam kick-up on the wrong side. Bummer! :(

The headlights pictured are the JDM units with the faceted inner lenses removed.

The beam pattern on the JDM is different than the US spec.

Once the inner lenses are removed, who knows where the beam shines.

If the beam pattern is no good, you can always stick a pair of projectors in there.

Also, the outer lens is glass.

I would love those light on my black 90

I think those would be more beneficial updating the front a bit

I would love some red clear lenses for the rear.

I love the updated look of the LED lights

Maybe someone will come up with these.

Please let that company make those headlights for the 90-93

You guys with the grill already look more updated let us smooth noses live:D :ylsuper

I have taken apart the US spec. headlights.

They are not the same on the inside as the JDM units.

That is why I said that the headlights pictured are probably good for a projector install.

I currently have the JDM lights on my 94 Q. The beam pattern is not as good as the US spec. lights.

My plan is to install projectors in the JDM units. That should take care of the beam pattern.

Sijoko, thanks for the information. Please do update us on your future progress.

AltaVista translation from the site:There is a small kind of scar which is attached to the lens with the stepping stone, but the crack is not seen in unit or the lens. In addition when there is a point which becomes matter of concern please inquire.

Cheap clearing! Concerning, we ask may with the no claim no return.

So I guess to clear them the lens cover is nicked. Tough warranty on these units, I bet.
