Aftermarket 2nd Gen Headlights???

Anyone know of some aftermarket headlights for a 2nd gen that are actually clear instead of having a pattern on the glass if you know what i mean. I dont really know how to explain it.
I plan on doing a HID retrofit and would like to get some different headlights that you can actually see through.

Thanks for the help bear with me on the description haha

EDIT:
something like this except not in Britain

Thats my plan but i wanted to get some headlights that didn't have the pattern on them so it would look better as long as it didnt involve shipping from Britain or anything ridiculous.

hmf...someone (in another thread) was just referring some guy to that ebay store a few days ago, i think it was in one of the Fat Mouse threads?

sorry LOL!, i'm still gonna keep an eye on this thread though to see what you find.

i was under the impression that there are NO aftermarket lights for the '92-'95 4runner

it's VERY VERY VERY easy to get the rectangular PICKUP headlights (like yours BackGateYota) in just about any style you want if you just look around..it's a very standard size light..at most you might have to swap the plugs on your harness which is CAKE lol

the full faced lights have little to no aftermarket options, just go with 4-10k HID

Take them to someone who works with glass, like a glass shop. They can probably heat them up and take the refractors out of the glass. All the pattern does is spreads the light out.

I hear European spec 4Runner headlamps have a better light pattern and they will bolt right in. Can anyone confirm this? I was looking into getting better headlights myself and I do not want to go the HID route. Anyone know?

To the best of my knowledge they do not make an aftermarket modified 92-95 headlamp. HID is your only option or you can convert it to the 90-91 style and run the bolt in HID 6054 style headlamps: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/rectangle.html
