Default projector headlights

someone told me that the projector headlights doesn't work too well. I like the look and was considering getting them, but I want to know if others, who might have them or seen them, will be able to respond with some remarks. Should I get them or not?
thanks...

Yes you should, and so should I--i mean, I will . There seems to be a lot of dislike for projectors by a lot of Accord owners.

Performance is ---different. Reflex or Vertex type lights(OEM style) are designed to reflect the light all over the world in front of you, with a concentration on the road. Projectors are designed to focus all the light onto the road.

You can get brighter bulbs and somewhat adjust the lighting direction.

Good luck, let me know which ones you get, Im still trying to get feedback on the best ones for 4th genners.

I think they look like ****e too. Just because they are diffrent, doesnt mean they are better.

You'll get rid of them in a month

yes, just bcs it's a mod, doesn't mean it's always a good mod... some things are just left better stock.

if you've got a 4th gen, get the jdm 1 piecers, if you've got a 5th gen, get the jdm 2-pieceres, and if you've got a 6th gen i'd go with the stock, black housing or clear ones...

those projectors are pieces of cr*p. i had the denjis as well and i had to swap my high beams for my lows to get decent visibility at night... definitely not worth it, esp bcs they looked gay too (i bought'em bcs my stock ones had a leak... learned my lesson).

I have the JDM 3 beam projectors for 4G accords, and I like them. They have a wide beam, the only suggestion I would make is that if you decide to get the ion blue lense, get strong bulbs, but other than that, they're fine.

JDM Accords are significanty different than USDM accords...you cann't do it unless you do major front end work.
