These pics look a bit more violet than they are in person. My setup is Hella ballast's with some cheap bulbs I found on eBay. The projector's are just the one's that come with the TYC's, I'd like to get a retrofit but I think I'm scrappin' the whole Accord project for a Civic (financial reasons). Anyways here you go, the blinkers are white LED bulbs and the smaller lights I've changed to PIAA ultra white LED's. Hope this helps.

eBay is generally a dependable forum for trading Auto parts. Just look at the seller's rating (in this case saltpepper) and if his feedback is Good, then you shouldn't have anything to Worry about. Also consider going Jdm. JDM parts for certain years are flying fast ~ stock up on spare parts before a Price spike! Often you can buy direct from the dropship manufacturer - and circumvent large tariff fees, etc.

How much of a difference is the light output compared to the stock lights.
I have 6000K HID's and wouldnt mind getting a set of TYC's.
If I transfered the lights over would they illuminate the road more?

i dunno if it'll illuminate the road more, but it will DEFINITELY remove the glare that our stock halogen reflectors would cause. The projectors lets you aim the beam and concentration without glare.

here is a pic with McCulloch 6000K HID kit w/ TYC Projectors.



You can see that each projector creats a oval beam of light. It took me a couple of hours cummulative to get the beam pattern right. A lot of trips to the mall and a lot of help from people driving who would flash their high beams at me when the beam was too high.



Here is the cutoff beam. Its not as clean as your conventional OEM HIDs (ie. S2000), but its really good considering that the TYC projectors were designed for halogen bulbs.



My friend's S2000



...and his cutoff. The cutoff is absolutely amazing.


Hope this helps!
