I had Sylvanias on my Last(Late) Accord and my Cavalier, they are pretty good and for a decent price as well.

Post some pictures of your car and show how much glare you have on it.
Yes, there will be a bit of glare but can be minimized by properly aiming the lights. If you look at some of the OEM Honda/Acura cars, even the cars without projectors have HID's and even then with their so called "special" designed reflectors, there is still glare.

And here's the link for HID's for $250 from Xenith

As soon as I can take pics of my girls car I will but it's been raining non-stop here in NY the past week. Also, Xenith's post should have pics of non-projector HID's in there.

aww hey folks, i dunno how this all changed to a diff topic, but lol what can i say? i like the ones from global premier, but my MAIN question is about the higher wattage bulbs - will it actually melt the wiring harness? i'd like brighter lights in my car, but the sylvanias are nice but i've heard a lot of stories about them blowing out after 3-4 months.

can you post NON HID lights for me to check out?

thanks!
-Brian

p.s. how hard is it to change the bulbs? I read you have to go inside the wheel well to swap one out.

thanks again!

It's didn't neccessarily change to a different topic, we are just offering you a different option other than spending countless amounts of money on bulbs that you will struggle to see with or be happy with. Trust me, I went through hundreds of dollars worth of bulbs just to be happy or content with light output and visability, I had domestic bulbs, bulbs imported from japan, almost every type of bulb imaginable I had or tried. It just wasn't worth it. I'm telling you, Save the money, if anything get some Cool Blue's or silverstars and save the rest for HID's. You will notice a world of difference.

i posted some pics of my eurodezins a while back, i'm bored with them and think they suck. if anyone wants to purchase a couple pairs (unused) PM me. If anyone can post pics of the silverstars, that'd be great. i'm really interested in those and want to see how they look.

thanks.
