Thoughts on projection headlights?

[Tone-us]

I just wanted to know your guy's personal encounters with these,
good or bad, pro's and con's.

[Infini Omega]

bad for me

[AccordEx]

why bad? I've been thinking to get one of those off the ebay, black/blue ones

[Tone-us]

I mean how so, just bad light output? Because I heard that the ones they sell on ebay have H3 bulbs which are said to be the equivelance of fog lights! Is this true?

[robfrmny]

they fucking stink at night there only good in the daytime cuz they look hot thats it

[vasponger]

yeah i hear they arent bright, and burn out bulbs quick.

[AccordEx]

damn it i wanted one of those black with blue ones so it fits my car. is there anything similar to it? I really want black headlights.

[Tone-us]

Iv'e heard of a couple of people modding the ones they got off ebay. They said they put Honda S2000's projectors into them. They said the output was bright as hell!

[Infini Omega]

well my lights caused a short and it wont fucking work right and they are draining my battery. my neighbor has the same lights and same shit on same side. im prolly gonna go back to some blackhousing and get hid

[Santosee]

seen the one piece projectors are pretty bright for the 90-93 accords not sure about the others...thinking about getting some for the 97 accord

[AccordEx]

i'm going to get them..will take a risk..there is two kind of them though.

decresed overall light dispersement, and lower visability. some companies have poor ventilation properties too, so bulbs go out quicker than Von Dutch trucker hats and Punk'd

i had the black halo projectors a little while back, but got rid of them....they looked awesome w/ the jdms corners....but the light output was pretty bad, i could live with it, but it began to get annoying....yes they do come w/ h3 bulbs which are fog light bulbs....and yes many hav had troubles w/ them shorting and blowing fuses....i think most had this trouble cuz the plug on the headlight itself is pretty poorly made and the wires back out ausing them to jump and blow a fuse....i hard wired mine and didnt have a problem after that....

....now i have the jdm style headlights and they are wayyy brigher as compared....sometime id like to retro fit audi/bmw/s2000 projectors in it and add HID....but thats alot of money that i dont have right now

id recommend going with the JDM style headlights

[Tone-us]

I thought the problem with JDM lights is that the driver side headlamp puts out a wider beam of light causing other motorist to be blinded? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[r33accord]

actually mine is brighter on the left... its due to the wiring actually. better conductivity results in brighter output

[AccordEx]

damn....hmm i will probably get one and little bit later convert to HID, whats the cheapest HID?

[Doug_04]

The light output on mine was about the same. i have super white H3's in mine and they are just about same as my regualar headlights. i am swiching to halo ones and this might sound retarded but do the halo and 3 beam take power away from the lighting. i have h1 h3 in right now 2 beam.
which are for sale make me a offer

[deftenvy]

I got a pair of projector head lights off e-bay.. besides having to take the entire process of taking off the bumper. I love them. I think my year accord and Prelude are the only ones that require bumper removal. See the pics.

[AccordEx]

wow those are really nice, look awesome. whats your opinions about them?
