European Domestic Market. They are glass headlights witha different beam pattern. They make it brighter,and have extra 194 bulbs in them to wire up for style pointers. you can find them on ebay sometimes, or here in the parts shed. I think there are some for sale. Post up a wanted ad.
Kickin' it old-school.
so is there a reason why i cant see or are the stock headlights just not that got to start of with. oh yea, i have to run with them on high beam becuase my driver side lost the low beam somehow

The stock USDM headlights are plastic and they yellow over time form sun exposure.

Step 1: Aim the headlights properly
Step 2: Clear the lenses. Meguiars Plastix is quick and effective
Step 3: Install good bulbs such as Sylvania Xtravisions or Narva Rangepowers. Sylvania Silverstars are crap.
Step 4: Upgrade the headlight wiring with relays and heavier gauge wiring.
Step 5: EDM glass lights seem to be better, but cost $texas
Step 6: Huge fuck-off aux driving lights.

Best is Hella 90mm conversion I did, but that's more money and pain than EDM.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.
hey do yall know the reason why my low beam would not be working on the driver side but it would work on the passenger side? could it be a relay. both lights work on high beam

I cannot believe this...

Read the data sheet and specifically look at MCSD and rated life. You'll be surprised at which bulb is the best
CB = Cool Blue , XV = Extra Vision, LL = Long Life, ST = Silver Star,

Yeah, but they're still plastic, and prone to turning yellow.Mr.Pessimist wrote:I've always wanted to find SVX headlight units and find a way to install them in my '93. How cool would that be? Oh yeah, those projectors would be awesome.
