Default Projectors good for night light, or just looks?

I need to replace my headlights they are getting dusted from the inside.

I am looking for a high quality product that doesn't just look cool, but maintains a good night visibility on the road.

Any ideas? I've read people complaining about how projectors can't light up the road for sh!t. Is this still the case even in the newer lights?

Thanks,
Brian

projectors are horrible at lighting up the road. people have tried doing hid conversions, and the bulbs just don't fit. the only solution is to find "See_Fu" to do a complete HID retro fit. otherwise, you're better off duct taping 2 maglites to your bumper.

Ah, thanks.

IS there a good quality clear headlight then that is not projector?

I want the same thing as I have, just one's that don't leak and get dirty on the inside.

oh heck yea ... here's some options

1) hop on eBay and search for them. that's what i did and i have NO problems with leaks or air getting in. the crappy part is that the new housings never fit like the oem ones do

2) go to www.accordcompany.com . they have instructions on how to clear out your own headlights. it's really simple to get out the orange stripe. this way you'll always have the stock fit too.
