I have a 92 coupe EX-R. I've decided to go with the JDM style amber corners cause clear is way overdone and same for bumpers. What should I do for the hearlights? I hear the aftermarket projectors and other headlamps suck big time for beam and brightness. Is this true? Should I just keep the stock headlamps and throw some *real* xenon bulbs in them? Will this make much of a difference without getting a HID system?

Also I want to go with a Greddy Evo exhaust since they come out with it for 4g's. It has 4.5 inch tip though. Will this be too big?? Or if not an RS-R Exmag. How big is the tip on this one? Anyone have pics of any of this?

Any help appreciated

DONT get aftermarket headlights. if u need to get anything... get the OEM euro-spec ones or the OEM jdm onepieces. i say keep it stock unless u wanna pay a bit for the ones listed... but ur best of just getting a good set of bulbs.

for the amber corners... get a set that has diffusing reflector built into it (looks OEM just all amber)... the ones w/out it are crappy.

cant answer ur exhaust question tho, sorry.

I would try putting some real xenon lights in. PIAA makes some good ones.

where to buy orange/amber corners

don't know the answer to the size of an rs-r exhaust, or if a 4.5 inch tip would look silly on your car. i would suggest a full catback system... if the price is right, then the price is right. i would think that a greddy exhaust costs a bit more than an rs-r exhaust, but i may be wrong.
