Lightbulb To anyone with ebay projectors

im looking into to buying a set because i cant afford a retrofit right now. from looking at the pictures it doesnt look there is a place for the parking light bulbs. i was just wondering if there is someone on here that has a set of these that could tell if im right or wrong.

Youre not going to find many people if any on here that have that mod, because it a honda civic mod, and it is a verry cheap mod, just buff the old head lights and call it a day, the cheap Ebay lights say look at me wana race ricer look, "its a lexus not a civic" there is a reason you bought a lexus and dint buy a civic. But about youre question sry i dont have to much info, do a search there are alot of questions like this sadly...

1skcvc has the eBay projectors... and to tell you the truth, they don't look half bad. A lot of the people on this forum seem to agree... Just because it screams of a "civic" mod, doesn't mean it actually will turn out to be one...

Funny you use him as an example. Just look at his Civic.

It wouldn't be such a civic mod if ONLY they were made as true Xenon HID projectors. If that were the case I would've been all over them.

But as far as what I have heard is that these are halogens and don't leave any kind of cut off line and retrofitting rebased HID bulbs would be dangerous to oncoming traffic.

you guys can run your mouth all you want. i bought these lik a month ago. and i have a JP kit on my car. and these headlights are about 1000 times nicer then stock. i really dont understand where the civic comes into the picture.
but to each his own. i guess the few that do buy these lights will get to enjoy them.

no thos are not leds.. they are just little bulges.
and the halos look really good on a gs.
the light output on them is great.
fitment is oem.
no parking lights tho. i guess the halos replace that. or i dont even remember using that connector.
anyway. these are a bargain if you need some headlights.
i must say i do only like the blackon black combo. otherwise might kick things off a bit.

and the cut off.. is just fine if you ask me.. pretty aggesssive actually.
my pass side seems to be a little distorted. but nothign that bothers me.

factory hid works with them, just unbolt your oem hid ballast and take out the bulb, put the light on, connect the ballast and bulb. put the ballast somewhere... then it should work.
but make sure do the mod to adjust the bulb back for light output to be correct...
