What is the best headlight projection system?

I'm trying to decide what to go with. I want brighter lights, I'm sick of melting sockets, so I decided to get a new headlight system. I see the "black halos" and "silver halos" etc, but what would look decent and provide the best quality light? Here is a link to the lights I found on ebay:

Thanks for any opinions/suggestions

They're not really going to provide much better light.. I don't see how they could when the source remains the same. Save over $60 and do the 9005 conversion. You'll be very happy with it, its considerably brighter, and only takes about 15 minutes to do.

Uhm, is that street legal? I don't need any more tickets =D. Sure doesn't sound legal...

Of course its legal, no one could even know the difference.. You're 100% more likley to draw attention to yourself with projectors than some headlight mod that the only way they would know you did it would be to take the bulb out and check the number.
Even if they did take the bulb out and look at it they still probably wouldn't know the difference between a 9005 or 9006.

If you don't want attention from cops, don't get those stupid coloured light bulbs, just get 9005s that are clear. (factory replacements)

I did it, the bulbs were like $6 cdn. each and I can see much better now.

i would say most projectors on ebay are from poor quality companies. but people don't mind.

Get an upgraded headlight wiring harness kit. That's what i'm planning to do. It's 40 bucks, no cutting and connects to battery for no voltage drop vs. the stock switch.

Meaning brighter lights and you can run that 80w bulb without fear of melting wiring.

Where do I get an upgraded headlight wiring harness kit? Will that allow me to use the 9005 bulbs without melting wire? Or do I use some other kind of bulb?

I'd like to know too for my 89 CRX Si!

Prevents costly damage such as melted headlight sockets and burnt wiring.

Installs without any cutting or splicing. Installs in minutes and keeps your stock wiring intact. Draws power directly from the battery to the headlights eliminating voltage drops and improving headlight system reliability

I'm gonna get one from Summit Racing instead $40. http://www.summitracing.com/catalogs/sportcompact/2004/mayjune/011f.html

you can build your own, if you like.

I haven't had a problem with my 9005s, and I haven't heard anyone complain about thiers yet.

There's no reason that they would melt anything.

SiZ, currently Blue lights will even burn out my socket - only 9006's don't melt anything...

Anyone got any wireing diragrams on how to make your own "upgraded headlight harness"? seems like you could do it with just a relay.

9005 wont melt them either, because all a 9005 is is a 9006 without the black tip. same wattage, so they wont melt your harness

Get HID's, lol...well if you don't mind spending a few hundred dollars.

h.i.d.

well i would go for the bulb change like SiZ said, i have the JDM front end and it takes H4 bulbs and the lighting is SHIT!! my old 88 DX had better headlight projection by far!

Some people may need to adjsut there headlights.

9005 have less bulb life than 9006. many people with the conversion say they burn out rather quickly.

regular 65w 9005 conversion won't melt wiring, but if you want very bright lights without HID, with a harness upgrade you can run a 80-100w 9005 bulb conversion without melting wires(common with higher watts) and is much very bright.

Or you can use 80-100w 9006 bulb, which has longer life than 9005, and will be much brighter than stock. Also, with the harness, you will get the full power of the bulb because there's no voltage drop like stock. which mean longer bulb life. sounds very good for a cheap $40 mod.

When i get mines, i'll see how it works out. i'll give me the ability to run just about any bulb safely.

Wow, cool thanks Integrasedan. I'm leaning heavily towards the harness upgrade....

Yea for some reason my projectors came only fitting the 9005 bulbs in both slots, at first I was pissed, but after i flicked on the headlights, I noticed they were way better than the lights in my other hatch and I havent had any wires go out on me since then, I'm gonna convert my other hatch headlights soon when i get a chance, the lighting is awesome.

And where would you go about getting the harness upgrade? Not that I plan on getting one, just wondering incase I decide to go higher voltage with 9005 bulbs.....

first page, someone posted a link. You can buy them at summit.

ok, so what Lights do we put on then??? :banghead:

9005 bulbs! $10 and 10 minutes of your time for better lighting.

OK, so I got the kit and installed it... unfortuantely, it switched my lights so now my brights are the regs. and the regs. are brights... IE: I turn on my regular lights, and my brights turn on.... flip on my brights, and the regs add to the already on brights. so does this "increase the voltage" or just switch the lights so you think you are running your brights???

i dont know what to tell you guys, the headlights in my 91 dx hb are great, and probably have the best high beems outta the 5 hondas ive had, everythings stock on mine.
