Be careful with the ole HID kit in the stock headlight combination. I've heard some bad things about crazy glare, making it unsafe for the vision of oncoming traffic. If your stuck on the HID's in the stock headlamps, Id make sure the bulbs are angled down to a reasonable degree.

just got red/clears. I noticed that they had gaps between the lens and the housing, so I just sealed them w/silicone. Thats the best route to go.

It snows in Reno? :thinking:

I like the look of the white/red taillights, but stockers can't be beat in terms of quality. For headlights, I'd go for the "nipple-less" jdm headlights and amber corners if I had to change from stock. I've seen some one-piece headlight/corners that look kinda cool too, but I don't know if they still sell them or how they hold up after a year or two.

haha hell yeah it snows here! last winter we got about 9 inches in a matter of 4-5 hours. my buddies RX-8 couldn't make it up the hill to get to our house but my '91 Accord made it just fine :chuckles: that was a fun night. but by nippleless i would think you mean the little glass peices that stick out of the head light. but how much do those cost and do they fog or let water in?

They are OEM headlights in Japan, so they're good quality.

Do you know what kind of look you are going for? That might help narrow some choices down for you. JDM style? Fast and the Furious style? Not trying to flame, just trying to help you with choices in the path that you want for your car.

+1 for the 16-17" rims
+1 for the JDM headlights

OEM either USDM or JDM are good quality compared to some aftermarket products, that's why people mention the fog and water.

Argh man, hey Nelson, White_n_slow, I'm missing my old Ferio projects again. LOL!
