ive heard from most people that the aftermarket projectors suck for light output... they usually use a H3 bulb for the low beams, which are not nessecarily suited for main headlights. Ive also heard that you go through bulbs like you read about... something about the projectors are not designed well and they burn the bulbs out too quickly.

I rode in a friends 5th gen accord with projector headlights, at night, and the light output was nothing to brag about... I think you should stay with the stock lights, especially cause they have a nice glass lens!

I have projectors... don't get them. SumAccordGuy94 hit it on the nose with the problems... Just black them out like JDM headlights... that's what I'm doing this weekend... and ditching the projectors. What a waste of money!

Yeh they look good, and the ring is cool... But just trust me and don't buy them. It is MUCH cheaper to do the JDM black conversion, and its not that hard either. Then you will actually be able to see the road... I suggest doing the 9005 conversion for your low beam too.

God, what a pain in the ass!

Just kidding... I see you've been around some of these online chat forums before! Most people here are pretty easy-going.
