Default tyc projector headlights for 5th gen

does anyone know of a good source for these? there is one posting on ebay, but they are overpriced. judging by the price that the headlights for the 6th gen are going for, i would say they should be $160 or less (especially since these are not one-piece headlights).

:slap: yes i am prepared to take the beating that you guys tend to give people with projectors. i have tyc red tail lights though and the quality is good on those.

TYC usually makes a very good light. Better then most projectors out there. I have ordered a pair and waiting to get them. This will be the fourth set of headlights that I have gotten. If I don't like the way these are I am just going to do a retro fit projector. I will post up pics once they are installed and I get a dark enough night to get beam pattern and alignment on the done.

I've got TYC's on a 6th G loaded with 4 European market OSRAM (Sylvania) SilverStar +50% (USDM is +30%). They're great, I made a long post about it, just search for it.

i know i want the lights. the problem is finding a supplier who isn't trying to stick it in my butt. the 5th gen lights on ebay / racerwheel.com are $219 shipped, and without perfect feedback. since the tyc lights for the other cars (like the 6th gen accord) are cheaper on ebay (around $180 shipped), i think i should be able to find 5th gen lights for a more reasonable price.

anyone know of a better deal? for 5th gen accords?

autodynamic.com has them, but I think their newer model is quite expensive.

I believe that these lights are more expensive at the moment because they just came out and like anything that is brand new they are going to have a high price at first. The 6th gen lights have been out for a considerable amount of time. That is why the price is down on them. It will just take time.

Yeah my ebay seller was racerwheel, he never responded to e-mails until like a week after I got the item. But I got the item in about a week after I paid, just shitty communication.
