If you're gonna go DEPO, I say go with the clear housings. I was never a fan of black housings. And you're right, the stock headlights from 97 look like doo doo lol. That was one of the first things I changed on my car. TheDevil has the clear DEPO 2-piece in his car and loves them. Are you going to do an HID swap at the same time? What color temp do you think you'll go with?

The two to one piece conversion takes like less than a half hour and costs a little more and looks so much better. Why two piece?

Well I agree with you, thats why I did the conversion myself. Also why i recommended that in an earlier post. Doesn't sound like Kayak is interested though, so the 2-piece DEPO's are the next best thing.

Oh, lol, hadn't thought about one peice. I'm thinking 6k HIDs, buts its been awhile since I've researched them. I'd love to throw bright PIAA yellows in the high beam slot. Just mess with people.

I think if you have a place and the means to do the work, converting to 1-piece will update your look way more than any set of 2-piece headlights. Check this out and see if its something you'd be interested in doing.
