^^^^ NO... the OEM foggy looking headlgihts are better for HID than the R34^^^^
reason being the r34 uses the reflector to direct the light... the regular Bulbs in teh r34s look bad according to people.... the 95 headlights use angled cuts in the plastic/glass to aim teh light and the reflector is use to collect the light....

the best headlights to do the retro are the GLASS ones.. the aftermarket non glass ones start to fade.. and the glass starts getting that faded fogged look.. no matter how much you take care of them... Im gonna do a glass Retro eventually.. thats my final project... for now..
