Headlight question?

I'm new here and so far I like the place, but anyway, I have a 96 rolla DX, and I was looking to install some new headlights on it (currently has stock). I was looking at these-

http://www.octanemotorsports.com/Toy...duct_info.html

But was wondering if they are considered illegal because they look pretty blue. I live in NJ btw. And idk how good the quality these are since these are pretty much what you get on ebay.

Just looking for some advice^^

Too tacky for me. I would go with the Anzo's but they're $250. This site has more info on the lights, including the manufacturer's name of those eBay lights http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/li...eadlights.html

You can also go non-projector, the non-projector Anzo's for cheap on eBay, this is the route I was going to go: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-97...item2c5a03265d

A headlamp is just a piece of plastic. I wouldn't worry about it cracking or anything like that. I've bought cheap generic replacement corner lamps and such and they are OEM quality.

Is the output of these or any aftermarket non projector headlamps our Corolla's good?
