unless you're making your car a show car... try to stay away from projectors that you see on ebay, i've heard nothing but complaints that people have horrible light output at night, and that you might as well drive with a flashlight out your window.. if you're gonna spend that much for lights, save up and get jdm one piece... or save up for something else... like a retrofit or something

this brown azn kid agrees with the other brown azn kid...$400 TRUE jdm (http://129.33.208.33/ecat2004/dsp_part_detail.cfm?vmakeid=140&vmodelid=010&vcatyear=1992&vnopinum=850%2B0325&vTitle=HONDA%20Accord%201992&vaffid=0) one piecers are worth it

Ill say away from telling you not to get those and get the JDMs, because I basically have the same ones, except mine are chrome not black, but still the same, and I love them. But yes, the light output isnt as good, but its not as bad as their made out to be...you still will be able to see at night, if you align them properly. And plus the JDM are too $$$ and overrated IMO. Also they come with its own bulbs, H3 for lows, H4 or high, and all the corners and driving lights are also supplied, and it hooks right into your factory harness, just plug and go. Thats also a pretty good price.

Well speak of the devil ;
just took mine off - heres pics


-by the way, those lights were much brighter than stock and i cant say about comparing to JDM ...Cause I havent
but the only real negative about these lights is how the temp raises inside the actual housing and needs a little DIY ventilation

peace.by the way jays cars off the hizzzzeeeyyyyy.


I can agree with you there to a certain degree. I am into body kits, z3 fenders, and other aftermarket products. I do not like projectors at all though, I had them on my car for over a year and they were horrible. I sold them and got a set of real JDM one piece headlights and thats the best investment I have put into my car. The light output is amazing, and the looks are good. If you mix match a little JDM here and some creative style there, I think that's better than just taking after a completely JDM car that you would see in Japan. I have the JDM lights, body kit, shaved everything, so different things here and there. I can see where you're coming from.
