Halo Projectors

[00accord44]

I'm about to get some new headlights with the black housing for my Accord, but I don't know if I wanna get the projector style or the original lamp style.

Does anyone know about the visibility on either option? I want my car to loook good, but I still wanna be able to see the road ahead of me!

I'm hoping to create a CL-S type look with the black headlight housing against charcoal grey paint. The whole black on dark grey thing looks sweet to me. Right now, my car is dark blue, which actuall looks pretty good with the gunmetal wheels I got, but I want grey.

I 'm thinking about going with the black carbon housing altezzas in back to create a total black on grey effect, but I'm still a little bit against the association of ricers and altezzas. Plus, I don't know if I like the design of the black altezzas for the 00 accord sedan.

Any advice or suggestions would help. I'm trying to have this part done by the end of July.

i actually have black housing projectors on my civic. i've seen them on accords, they look aiight in my opinion, a little overdone. however, the other lights you are talking about (black housing stock design) are BADASS! i LOVE those lights. i think you should get those. as far as altezzas go, i've never seen any altezzas for the 98-02 accords that look good. i think you should just stick with stock ones, or go for a red/clear look on the back. just my 2cents...

here's an Accord SiR-T, thought you might like these headlights...

I've seen both types of housings, but I've never seen the original style with blk housing on an actual car. Only on websites or mags.

I'm undecided about the lights in that pic. I think I need a few more angles to see if I really like em. Thanx tho.

How is the visibility on your halos? Better? Worse ? I know sometimes, messing with the aftermarket lighting makes your car LOOK a helluva lot better, but you cant see at night.

I do like the red/clears for my car. I HATE that stock pinkish lens. It looks so And actually, going back to my whole CL-S clone theory, the new CLs have red/clears in back. It looks nice.

Hmmmm........ I hate making decisions about my car!!! Its so hard sometimes!

[emerge]

well you're on the right track. just do whatever you feel is best for it. as far as my visibility goes, its not really better or worse, just different. my stock headlights gave me a better view of the road im diving on, while my projectors give me a better view of the things around me. you can always adjust them to fit your desired lighting...

[00accord44]

I didn't know you could adjust projectors. Is that like a one time thing? Or can you adjust em pretty much whenever you want? I actually have no knowledge of projector and HID conversion systems. I wish I could get both and compare them, then return the one I don't want the next day.

i had some angel eyes until i crashed and shattered them to tiny pieces. i was able to adjust them with the screw adjustment thing. it just tilts the actual projector light. you could do it whenever you want

[00accord44]

Emerge- Just saw your pics of angel eyes on your civic and I fell in love! I want the Ion Angel Eyes For Sure!!! Do you (or anybody else) know of a website where I could get them for my car? (98-02 Accord)
I found a lot of websites that mention them, but they will either not confirm that they are angel eyes or they wont have the ones that fit my model year.

I am only trying to find them on the web first because if I order it from one of my local shops, they are most likely gonna cost more. I saw the Civic Angels on the internet listed as $220 retail, but being sold for $148 plus like $20 SH!


Any help PLEASE!

[emerge]

i got my headlights from for 175$

[outlawtorn86]

just get some clean white ones. itll look good

i got a black accord, i was wonderin how it would look with pure white tail lights... anyone got a pic of that? neva seen it done

[emerge]

clearouts?!

[00accord44]

I would consider clearouts if I had a light colored accord. I guess either white or silver, but I like dark cars and plus it would look dumb to have gunmetal wheels on a dark blue (soon to be dk grey) car and then go AWOL with clearouts in front and back. Kills the whole dark effect.

I personally wouldn't reccomend it.


As for EBAY, Emerge, I dunno. I've never used it before. I 'll give it a shot. I want these things BAD! Plus, nobody in my area has em. The only angel eyes I see around here are on Bimmers. And I fell in love with em when BMW started putting em on the 5 series

ANGEL EYES

[00accord44]

I just got finished searching the internet for some angel eye projectors for my car and they don't exist! The only angel eyes I've seen available were for 94-97 Accords! WTF! Theres gotta be some out there for the 98-02 Accords.

Stay with stock, or get real HID ($400-$600), please. Halos suck, they don't light up shit.

[00accord44]

What do you mean Angel eyes dont light up shit? They're not intented to. Or do you mean they don't light up at all? But that can't be the case, because I've seen the pics of Emerge's Civic and they look great!

I did another search, a different way this time and found som sites with them. The lowest price so far was $255

Needless, to say. I'm still looking. I was hoping to find a deal in the $200-225 range.

[Ricochet]

I know halos don't light up better than regular lights because I own a pair. They come with H1 bulbs, the same as foglights bulbs, and nothing bigger will fit in the housing.
