projector headlights from ebay

I was wondering about some projectors from ebay for my 92 accord but didn’t know weather to trust the quality of them or whatever I just wonted to get some of this cleared up thanks.
And also I noticed theirs an extra bulb the one in-between the projector and the high beam. Is their any special wiring kit I need to hook that bulb up or does it like go on with the projector light. thanks

Re: projector headlights from ebay

I purchased some projectors from ebay for my 94 accord. They don't fit as well as the stock ones do but I thought they were fine. The bulb usually doesn't last very long and it's about 20 bucks for new ones, which suck. I seen the picture you showed before and the lights do look weird. Usually you don't have to have a special wiring kit unless the seller say you need one. Just ask the seller of the product.

I still like the look and the light themselves. I don't know the name of the bulbs. I bought them from a Racing store. I say, do it if you want your car to look good but if you want performance then work on your performance.

Well right now the only performance mods I did to the accord are an AEM short ram intake and a performance muffler. Right now my car sounds amazing with that loud deep tone, and I can’t complain with its speed either. When I first got the car I a year ago before I did any mods I did 0-60 in 9 seconds, witch I think is relatively good for a straight 4. Since the mods< I haven’t done the 0-60 thing but I do notice the difference. I’ll have to do that tomorrow I’ll let u know how that goes over. I don’t really plan on racing my car at the moment so I thought since it sounds so dam good I might as well get it to look so dam good. So right now I’m working on euro tail, a small spoiler, the headlights, and some nice 17” rims and some other shit when I get more cash.
But If I was going to do anything else performance wise I would have to save up and go with the h22a engine swap and get my car switched to stick. That’s right I drive an automatic. But unless I get that kind of cash I’m stickin with looks
Thanks for the info on the headlights though

i have projectors from ebay on my 90 accord. they are a pretty tight fit but it fits and works. the bulbs are ok.... one burned out but the rest are still going. i the projectors on for about a year and they are still good. no problems for me. one thing is that u gotta aim it when u first put em on cuz sometimes they shoot towards the ground. the highlights esp... well mines i needed too.
