Need New Headlights. Suggestions?
Hi, this is my first post here, but Ive been browsing for a while now. I will admit that I know next to nothing about modding cars unless it has to do with audio, in which case I have a lot of experience. I am looking to get a new pair of headlights because...well....1)I need more light and 2)I want something that looks cool. I drive an stock 03 sedan (Shoreline Mist Metalic) and I would like something that is going to look classy as well as put out a lot of light. I hear the term "projectors" thrown around a lot here and if someone could help explain that for me I'd be greatful. Any suggestions or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

your 03 housings are reflector type housings. projectors are what's installed on TSX's, S2000's, newer TL's, and most bimmers and mercedes. they used a specially designed reflector bowl focused through a lens that litterally projects the light the same way a video projector does. most aftermarket projectors are garbage. really, the only good way to get more light is to do an HID retrofit where you custom install an HID projector from a car that came with them stock into either your stock housings or an aftermarket housing. if you want to go the retrofit route, spend a good 2-3 weeks on www.hidplanet.com/forums and you'll learn what you need to know about retros. don't get an aftermarket HID H4 conversion kit for the stock housings. they are garbage and you'll be a hazard to all oncoming drivers by blinding them. if you don't go with the HID retro, get some over wattage H4 bulbs, like 80-90w, and a wire harness to run them directly off the battery.
