    Indeed I am.I did these for a friend and after installation of these he figured we should have done amber highbeams.So today we are doing that to another set.Many folks told me you could not do this and why would I because of the design in the lense.This is my first set and I'd be more than happy to do more.
    The pictures do not do it justice,maybe he will take better pictures with his camera.

    Yea all the write-up's I could even find were for 90-93 accords of course, and one for the 1-piece lights for the dc integra.
    They really look nice in person the pictures make them look blackedout and all hazed.but they turned out alot better than I thought.I just can not wait to finish up the pair with the amber highbeam part.

    We might sell these after we install the new ones from today.If you really are interested let me know.And I'll talk with him.
    They have only been installed for 12 hours maybe since I did the work?.We would not sell them with brackets either but it's a quick and easy swap to yours.

    Oh for anyone who actually thinks this causes the lights to not be as visible as before think again.We aimed them after installation and they seem to be just as clear and bright as the stock ones.

    That is where you will make your mistake.from experience it is crap.I know that stuff fades after time and can also crack.Leave that for the model cars.


    I will be doing lights so if anyone is interested let me know.I might have a set of 92-95 lights here soon.reason I do this is because Ebay crap is worthless and are usually plastic and the brackets are made onto the actual light so if it breaks you lose on that $100 deal.Most USDM lights tend to come apart from their brackets.JDM stuff is nice but why do I want to pay all that money for something when I can throw less $ & alittle time together and make an average quality product look just as nice?.But thanks everyone for all of your comments I enjoy the positive feedback.I do not have anything against JDM/Ebay & etc too much just rather make something than buy it.

    Here is a 92-95 civic light I did JUST to show how the amber highbeam and or foglights would turn out finished with the black housing(extra light).
    They really look nice maybe not on the 92-95 civic light but on the 90-93 accords and 88-91 civic/crx's + other's they look amazing.

    What do you guys think?.

    Never touched an HID kit,rather not since I have no experience.I'd hate to mess anything up and have to pay out of my pockets.The rest I have no problems doing there is a set we have you can buy and do the HID portion yourself or get someone else locally to do so.They are just blackhousing with no amber highbeam.

    P/m me and maybe we can figure something out?.If I can learn more about HID's I'd love to help you out but until then I would rather not Sorry.

    Alright then no problem, the black housing is cool but it's not necessary.

    Exactly it just makes most cars look nice.Maybe I should learn how to mess around with HID's.
    Might come in handy one day.Just wanted to be honest because I'd hate to screw up something.
