    I had halos for a while and they were cool but I got tired of them within a few months. So I switched to OEM headlights with Sylvania SilverStar bulbs. Amazing visibility.

    there was a guy on honda tech asking about them and how to install them. The responses went a little like this first smash with a bat, put in trash can then install oem's. The make the car look a little cheesy to me.

    I used to rock projectors on my 2nd crx and they sucked really bad. I couldn't see ****. So I wouldn't recommend them.


    *idea*
    You know what would be pimp?!? If you removed the lens and then glued zc headlights lens to the projector housing. Then run HIDS. That would give a black housing oem look, plus a projector for the HIDS.

    my old man has projectors on his EF, and i'm not a fan of them. driving his car @ night, it's hard for me to see out of them too.

    so let me ask i took apart my old stock headlights, was easy about 5 min in the oven at 350 and came right apart now i'm wondering if i go ahead and put this lens on my projectors without doing the hid right away will it be bright enough if i need to use my lights? i don't have the cash to do the hid till probably after the first so...just wondering. if anyone knows
    i might just end up putting it on anyway and if its not bright enough i'll use my brights : ) : )

    Well the point of that was to give the projectors a more OEM appearance. The HID's are going to bright'n up the road.

    I use to have the blk projectors on my CRX and they don't put out much light at all, the lightbulb would always lose connection, the headlight with vibrate all the time, and the lens on the outside will turn yellow & nasty quick.
