Default New Headlights

If you were to pick a set of headlights and foglights for my 2006 Accord, and price didnt matter, what would you pick from this site?

Thanks!

Of the headlights I saw there I like the Chrome Imported JDMs for $780. But honestly, I like the stock headlights just fine, what I would probably do personally is just get an HID xenon conversion kit. But that's basically because of price for me, if you wanna spend that much then I say go for those headlights AND the HIDs, lol.

WHY would u spend over 300 in headlight assemblies... unless u swim in cash I wouldnt get the 800 dollar things. Get some decent projectors [read TYC] and add an HID kit or just geta reto done and HID but thats more expensive, but worth it.

HIDs in stock look like shit in most cars, and create alot of glare onto oncoming traffic.... especially in the 7th gen housing.

the inspire lights are not a good choice for the US, since they drive on the other side of the road, and they are aimed for RHD driving.... it'll put out too much light onto the left side.

check ebay for cheaper prices if you want projector style headlights

you can get a HID retrofit done for under a grand, and it will outperform those $800 lights in an instant.

for foglights.... i would get the OEM ones - http://www.handa-accessories.com/accext06.html#fog
