are projector headlights any good or should i just keep my stock? and how bout the halo headlights? is it true that 3rd party lights suck anyways? sigh...choices

 

stock unless you are retro-fitting hid's in them.

 

whats retro fitting and are halo any good?

 

Retro fitting is where you take HID projectors out of another car (like S2000) and put them in your civic projectors.

A lot of people say their halos burn out.

I think stock looks better though.

 

whats the usual life span of the halo and how bout projection? and also i saw these bulbs a little while ago on ebay and they're xenon head lights which are blue. ur thoughts? ...oh yeah..whats hid?

 

Search.

 

i bought halo projector headlights for my civic when i first got it. light output sucks, the halos got dim after a month, and went through 2 bulbs. so i sold them for 100 bucks :reechy:

 

what do u have now? and how bout those xenon lights on ebay? any good or waste? y i ask is just because i live where theres a lot of wild life in myneighbor hood like deer. those whistles don't work. but anyways, thats why so many questions about the headlights thing

 

Then don't get the projectors because it will make your light output worse.

You probably don't want the "Xenon" bulbs either because they are probably coated with blue film that will hurt the light output.

Either get a set of Xtravision halogen bulbs or buy a HID kit. There is really no reason to change your headlight assemblies out.

 

ah... NO HID KIT!!

If you want truely better light output, you need headlights fitted with OEM HID Components. HID stands for High Intensity Discharge... uses gas filled capsules rather than filaments... similar to a flourescent light. Im sure you've seen newer cars with the lights. Stock halogen headlights dont even compare to the performance of true HID, but you need the right equipment to get the proper output. Putting a HID "kit" in your stock headlights will blind other drivers and will not give you proper dispersion of the very intense light. If you're really interested in seeing better at night, save up some cash and get a hold of me. A pair of retro-fitted headlights for your car will run in the range of $600... thats using all OEM parts (not aftermarket junk) and will give you all the light you could ever need.

If you need a cheaper alternative to HID, add some driving lights (not fog) they'll help you see distances better, but should only be used when there is no other traffic in front of you. I know what its like driving in the woods... thats why I have a full HID setup on my car and I couldnt be happier... money very well spent in my mind!
