    After market headlights

    Hi I have a 97 legnum pfl and want to get some new halo type lights can never find them for legnum and always galant and I was told galant ones are the same and interchangeable just not USA ones!
    So..... was just wondering what year from and too I should look for or if the facelift ones fit aswel as finding a lot of 99 onwards ones?
    Cheers

    All VR4 headlights from PFL and FL models are the same.
    there was some Super PFL headlights with silver plastic inserts in the light rather than black but that is about it.
    there was a factory Cibie headlights option but they are very very rare and now sell for about £800-£1000 for a pair.
    however you can get copy versions made in fiberglass from one of the members on here, well you used to, not sure if he is still making them.
    the USA ones do not fit correctly and leave gaps around the outside of the headlight unit. there were some pictures on here somewhere showing how badly the USA ones fitted.
    the other option is a UK spec glass headlights and separate glass indicators they look very similar to the Jap spec one piece headlights but they have to have the headlight electrical level mechanism wired in to make them function fully.

    hope thisis the sort info you were after.

    Bye for Now!

    Thankyou Davezj that helps a lot as confused by some lights I’ve seen say from like 96 - 05 or something and some are 99-05 etc but at least now I can look and know it will fit mine!
    I have seen cibie ones on eBay before which are very expensive and seen the copies which look pretty good just not sure if I have time and knowledge to make them or even strip mine apart to make them!
    I’ve seen someone on here making them somewhere but also lots of me next comments
    Thankyou for all your info

    i have cibie copies on my car.
    and to be fair they look pretty good. but they were not cheap to buy.
    the VR4 was produced between 1996 and 2002ish {early 2003 possibly) any headlights that say they are for 1999-2005 model cars will not fit the VR4 the galant was made after 2002ish but these were not jap or european models they were only sold in USA as galant fortis i think.
