Ebay projector headlights?

[siguy2k]

So when I bought the car it had been involved in a small fender bender. It will need a new fender, bumper and headlight. I was looking at these projectors on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-91...#ht_1730wt_939
They are DOT approved. Has anyone used them? I will also be purchasing a hid kit in the future so I would like to get a projector of some sort.

I really like the black housing vs chrome also.

ugh, not another thread about these.

I searched and didnt find anything pertaining to these specifically. How is the light output?

[crazymikey]

Shit.

[siguy2k]

So which headlights would you suggest?? I am going to go with hids in the near future, so something that will work with them!

[crazymikey]

Stock ones with projectors retrofitted (see DIY section), or ebay sells some that look like the stock headlights, but have a low beam projector, and dont look all shitty like those 1 piece ones.

These are some of the nicest aftermarket haedlights you can get for the accord

Yes from what I've read these have terrible output. Most people retrofit (taking projectors and installing them into stock headlights) from a TSX, S2000 will also work. There are a lot that will work.

I don't think there is any point of running halogens in a projector, save up for the proper retrofit and do it all at once. With HID's. Also side note for HID's anything over 6K is pointless and output of the light will suck. 5K is optimal and that is pure white.

Like these?

These. I'll probably get a set for my next CB. Save the hassle of retrofitting.

A projector is not pointless without HID's

it still helps to more evenly distribute your light output

98-01 integra's come stock with projectors and halogen headlights

So does the 04-09 mazda 3

Im sure theres more but thats all i know of off the top of my head.

Have you used these? How is the light output? I like being able to see everything on the road. I hate crappy headlights.
