I found OEM replacements for about $86 each a few days ago. But the OEM lights are not very bright (at least not on my 98 coupe). So I went looking for a better replacement. Found these two lights are the right size, but each will need the original mount to be modified to take them. Not a big deal if you are handy.

I like both of these lights because they have glass lenses and 55 watt H3 bulbs. The factory wiring will handle their load with no trouble. A nice feature of the glass lenses is a 80 or 100 watt H3 bulb can be installed without melting the lense. Wiring might need to be upgraded for the extra wattage.

These are sold under the brand name Street Scene, but the box says Sirius with a sticker that reads "Driving light kit for Street Scene valance 4" round". The Street Scene part number is 950-30020. They sell for about $55 a pr. Includes wire harness, with cool looking tear drop switch for dash (that feels cheap). At least the wire is heavy gauge.



I ordered the Street Scene lights. Hooked them up to a battery at night to see how bright they are. Man, they are bright and have amazing distance for a 55 watt H3 bulb. So these are going in the car.


These are Hella Optilux 2500 Angel Eye Lights. Each light has a ring of LED's that can be lit separately from the main beam. I almost ordered these, but didn't want the LED feature so I went with the other lights. These sell for about $60 pr.
