yeah 15 year old oem headlights get fogged up you have to clean them, do you think ebay headlights are going to be made better? let's see how those look years down the road..

you can restore yellowed headlights to look brand new.


some horrible integra headlights i restored to like new

That would be better, but I'm sure there's better projectors out there for the money if that's all you're going to use out of it.

I'd like to get a hold of some glass high beams , simply because my plastic ones are melting when i use my fogs..this happened back when i was using silverstars.....(tell me thats not bad) now tey look like i held a flame on one part till it began to sink in...not cool....one of the reasons i ended up blacking my headlights and fogs...

As far as the high beams, I'll wait until they're installed to give my opinion. But I wanna know why so many people take shts at Ebay,"FLEA-BAY" to some, when the product is in question, not the source. You can find some good stuff on ebay, like my 02 GS steering wheel (sold) I see them on here for $100-150ish and I bought mine, on Ebay, for $45+ shipping (no-airbag).

Setsuna57, have you tried running HID's or LED bulbs in your fogs. They operate at a much cooler temp. Especially the LED's. That might keep your fog lenses from melting

besides the black outlining of the headlights, I dont understand why people on here really hate the headlights. they are so updated and look like the LS600h.

Obviously the projectors are gonna be crap but you can always retrofit the same way you do the OEM ones.

Check out this civic projector retrofit on some TYC headlights.

i mean you can retrofit any headlight housing, some are just easier then others, i don't really see the point in going through the hassle of retrofitting projectors into a highbeam housing though??? you mine as well just do a bi-xneon retro into you headlight housing then use your highbeams for city lights or something..

as far as updating the look, it may have somewhat of a "updated LS600" look but it looks cheap, not like a actual oem headlight.. just my opinion, i'm not hating on anyone getting them, i just don't personally dig them..

For all you waiting to see what they'll look like, here is a car with the headlights, but not the highbeams.

This forum is like an Orange County Home Owners Association. You must have the same boring beige color on the outside of your house,same roofing material, 5 spoke wheels, Your SC has to be lowered so much. You can only have so many finger gap between the tire and fender, staggered wheel fitment, the lighting has to be OLT approved, Your kit has to be made by such and such,don't do this, don't do that, etc. etc etc, add nausea.
