The lenses can turn yellow, a bit of t-cut can help or you could fit a pair of projectors
-

what are the projectors how do i go about getting these and putting them in

They are a straight swop, if the previous owner has not already fitted them as you say they have been changed already, have a look in the parts for sale/wanted or on ebay

dont know if you can see from the photo

Are the lenses clear or patterned? its hard to tell from that pic
-
they are patterned headlight lenses

they are patterned headlight lenses
Try a pair of projectors then, you will see a difference ;)
-
nice one
i will have a look round for a pair
do you have a pic by any chance
-
Yup, projectors, matched with plus50 type bulbs (eg osram nightbreakers) are not bad at all.
Other option is HIDs, but there are legality issues with retrofitting those that your 94 CDX cannot meet.

they look the part
where did you get those from
-
Make sure they are for UK market, lots floating about for euro market.
Each light has a sticker that says what side its for, and what side steering wheel is, so for example LH-LH mean left hand headlight off LHD car...
