As far as those headlights go, cheap knockoffs, buy at your own risk. Same one's from an autoparts store would cost $50, so that tells you something right there. But those are not real HID headlights, just look a likes. Again, buy at your own risk.

Well the computer had problems but he said its ok now so its working.
He didn't tell me the codes, but i know him for years and he wouldn't lie to me for sure. He said that upper intake manifold gasket needs to be replaced.

Thanks for reminding me, i've been searching all over for the cable. I do have a program in my android smartphone thats called Torque, what it does is, reads and diagnose obd-2 cars. And those 95's have obd-2 connector with obd-1 system in it. So i have no idea what to do about.

I put a brand new EGR valve in it. Thought problem would go away but i still get the code when i coast from 70. My mechanic said thats not big issue. And it really doesnt effect the way its running. By the way, we think that i do have a minor engine oil leak too somewhere around that, so we are going to replace em anyways.
