What do you think is better looking? 89 spec or 99 spec. Well at least the 89 spec with the 99 spec inserts.

 

It's a black car

I think I prefer the 89 spec lights for the darker more mysterious quality. Although having seen a brand new set of 99 spec headlights, they do look very tasty and I imagine the light output is more controlled than the early ones with a lot less light scatter. That would probably be the main selling point that would press me to buy them, but as they're so expensive I very much doubt I ever would!

If you mean just the inserts - then no; original 89-spec all the way....

 

.....However proper OEM 99-spec Xenons..... I'd have them!!!

99s all day long

'89 spec with full HID projector retrofit.

I was meaning the insert ones. Specifically this set..

In terms of aesthetics, I prefer the earlier headlights. I do really like the look of the 99spec HID headlights, but ai think the early style look more menacing and dark looking.

What about if they're painted black?

I think the '89 spec look way better and especially on a black car. '99's on your would look terrible imo:innocent:

Black car and '99 specs:

"no" on those.....

 

2 different things; hence I have not added a vote....:wink:

I think your vote is 89's given the options I have

So what's out the option of black painted 99 insert?
