Quite possibly. The basic plan is black headlights, smoked rears, and black respray seeing as the car needs it anyway one day :/

Make sure you have Jap spec ones, not US spec ones. If they're US spec then throw them in the bin as they are dangerous and will blind oncoming traffic.

Not much $$ on ebay.

Did they fit nicely without any gaps? I've heard from a few on here they don't fit well. Needed spaces underneath them between the bumper as there was a 20mil gap.
Also what are the beams like? Are they better than stock lights? Also was the wiring easy to set up? Can you send me a few pics of them turned on.. During the day and at night? Number is 0408631846

Eugene, search ebay for Soarer headlights. There is really only these ones and the same but with chrome housing

You need to make sure you get RHD ones, if you are searching ebay Australia then 95% chance you'll get the right ones. Ebay USA will be similarly filled with LHD configuration

Eugene you can easily clean up your stock lights with polish mate...I use Autoglym and they come up like new, or search "headlight restore" type products on ebay...there are a heap of em.

http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/10/14.html?1098227774

these ebay headlights do go yellow rather badly after a couple years... I have seen a couple of Soarers with these ebay halo lights in chrome though (one of them my mates) go yellow and misty...worse than OEM factory ones.

It will say in the auction

LHD lights are biased to the right, RHD are biased to the left

It's quite hard to properly adjust LHD lights to be usable on Aussie roads

They go nice in black cars, but the quality is so that I went back to some cleared out factory lights.

I have taken these apart because I was wanting to do some mods to them (eg. rip out the crummy halos and a retrofit) but haven't had time since work has me in a death grip.

They come apart like the stockers and you do it in the same way. remove all screws and clips and then heatgun + ALOT of patience and burns. you have to be super patient and heat and reheat mildly if you dont want to end up cracking the lense or melting the casing.

Took these pics recently because I might sell them (having done all the hard work already :/) if i don't end up selling my car by the time work lets up lol

enjoy :
