How do I get my headlights to look like these?

[thestockcb7]

Is it HID lights in both the high beam and low beam side? How much would getting my headlights to look like these cost, and is it easy installation?

It looks as if the high side has been painted yellow (look up blackhousing DIYs)

[GhostAccord]

Ether they painted them yellow or they bough a set of amber halogen lights. IIRC PIAA sells amber bulbs that look similar and will fit OEM....

No HID's there that I can see. Look like a set of 6-8000k lows and amber highs with blacked out housings.

1. Get a CD Accord
2. Blackhouse and tint the lights yourself or outsource it
3. Put a really annoying PnP HID kit in the low-beam

Done.

Cost of the HIDs is anywhere from $15-$50, paint for lights ~$20, CD Accords usually average about $2000.

But seriously...they're just blackhoused and tinted with HIDs. It's relatively cheap and easy to achieve that look. But be warned, putting a PnP kit in reflector housings isn't the proper way to use HIDs.

Nothing wrong with HID's in reflector housings, the issue is halogen based housings.

Wow, very fast replies . Hmm, looks like I'll have to black house my headlights with the JDM high beam look then and install HID's.

I don't understand the reflector/halogen based housing situation for HID's, so I wouldn't be able to install them on OEM 93 accord's headlights? Would I have to buy projectors for the HID's?

oh geez...semantics again.

But yeah, there are such things as HID reflectors, the prius is a good example. So, to clarify, HIDs should not be used in a reflector designed for halogen bulbs.

HIDs emit way more light than halogen reflector housing are designed to handle. They end up scattering A LOT of light into places it should not go, like oncoming driver's eyes. So in short, yes, you'd need HID projectors to properly use HID bulbs.

[deevergote]

Without using projectors, you'll be throwing light everywhere, blinding oncoming cars. It's obnoxious, and you might get an asshole like me that will swerve at you. There ARE non-projector housings out there that are made for use with HIDs, but they're not CB7 housings. If you want HIDs, get projectors.

Also, there's nothing JDM about yellow high beams. Accords in Japan don't have yellow high beams. It's interesting, but it's not JDM.

Thanks guys, probably saved me a beat down by the cops.

I have one last question. Estimated, how much am I looking to pay for projectors and where could I get them?

[deevergote]

You're coming dangerously close to breaking the rules. Junkyards, ebay, forum classifieds, and various online stores. Google is your friend.

A little off topic but those headlights I think are JDM one-piecers. I'm not a CD5 guy though so i don't know for sure

Those are 2 piece headlights

1 piece headlights do not exist for 94-97 honda accords. Not even in japan.

If your gonna put HID's in, do it the right way so you wont blind oncoming people.

People have already posted how to Blackhouse the headlights and while there open thats when you can put the projectors in. A good place to get them is Here I have bought 3 sets of these and are awesome for the price. You can get the HID's from them of somewhere else. The kit comes with everything you need except the HID's. They are easy to install. The things you need are: A dremel and HID's! You will need to do a little cutting on the headlights itself and the shrouds for the projectors. Its not hard and there are a lot of people like myself that can help if needed.
