Default Difference with Bubble Lights

Well I bought a 94 GSR bubble Integra about a year ago with a Acura Type R bumper on it (like the one seen in the picture below). Well I am planning on getting some Halo lights for it, but when I am checking the website where I am going to purchase them I notice that they have 94-97 and 98-01. Could someone tell me the difference with these 94-97 and 98-01 headlights.

the 94-47 and 98-01 integras have slightly different front and rear bumpers, the headlights and turn signals will only fit the matching bumber.

and fyi: i dont know from first hand experience but ive heard from just about everyone who has, halos (ebay ones anyway) give very poor light output and sometimes leak. make sure your getting a quality product for the price.

If you have a Type R bumper. Then you will need a 98-01 Headlight. Like previous person said, the ebay Headlights suck. Poor output. Do a HID retrofit or HID Kit, much better then the Halo ones. The diffrence between 94-97 and 98-01 is that the 94-97 sticks in more, while the 98-01 sticks out alot more and sits flush

Dont get the halo lights... my buddy has them on his 98 RS and they leak and have poor light output... I drove with him home one day at night from work and I could barely see anything. IMO they look nice but they're crap.

Halos = garbage.

Get a decent HID kit and be done with it. Or, if you have the money, retrofit it.

Excellent words of advise.....

Halo = POS

Retrofit = pricier but outstanding results

get the ebay halo lights and then retrofit them with OEM HID's.... this way, you get a chance to properly seal the lights and you get the benefit of a super clear lens

94-97 headlights are smaller than 98-01.
