'92 - '95 are the same exact headlight and will take no mods to fit. The only difference is that in '92, one of the headlights had "Pontiac" on the outside of it. Makes no difference for fitment though.

There is one difference. The earlier light has a glare guard around the low beam bulb. I've found the newer version without the glare guard to have a more focused beam that provides a better view of the road.

Your car has h4 bulbs in the headlights? Interesting. No, I doubt you will ever find another set like that again. Upgrade to the 9005/9006 style, you should be able to find a ton on ebay.

yepp i´v got H4 and yepp i´v seen lot´s of shops on ebay BUT they does only sell to the "world" and in there WORLD does only US & some times canada exist ,, :bstooges: , even then i´v got a friend in New hampshire they wont sell to me . i´v thougt new hampshire was a state in the us , but i´l still gets the same answer that the only ship inside us ... my ebay score is 100 % and ower 100 auctions so i cant be the problem ,,

i guess the most common way of a SCAMMER is to use an "alien" account ( Alien=no US people) but heyyy we are not talking about a huge amount of dollars and il pay by pay pal so they always recive money before shipment ,, it´s a mystry to me ,, My dollars has the same value as yours ,, !!
