I am interested in purchasing a pair of balck "halo" style headlights from ebay & just wanted to know if anyone has them on their cars here & also if they are having any problems with them?

no problems really. Some things you will notice though:

1) Lesser light output than OEMs.
2) Halo will stop working.
3) Temporary fogging.
4) Misfitting turn signal socket.

Explanations & Solutions
1) the entire oem headlight is used to focus (reflect) the light beam. The projectors only have a small reflective pod, which results in lesser output/visibility.
2) The halo may stop working soon after you wire it up. The reason for this is the transistor in the halo's wires or something, fries. A member wrote up a thread of fixing that problem.
3) Most aftermarket lamps will fog up. Members will suggest sealing your headlights with silicone or other product to prevent this problem.
4) The halo projectors were probably designed from SEDAN specs. They of course fit on coupes, but the turn signal socket on the lamp will be loose. I ordered the lightbulbs & harnesses of a sedan from www.Hondaautomotiveparts.com

Everyone complains about the halos, yes they dont give great light output. They look tight though, so if your going for mostly look, get em because they're the best looking ones

i agree with integra. if you're not going for looks, these lights aren't going to outperform your oems. I'm planning on switching back to oem headlights and getting an HID kit. It's not that i don't like the projectors anymore; I just don't want my family getting into an accident if and when they need to drive my car at night. I have no problems with the visibilty (because i'm a better driver .


but tycs have gotten more praise on this site. They don't have the halo so that's one less thing for members to bitch and moan about. There were cases where tyc headlamps fog up too. Oh you musn't forget that paying $100 more for something with a brand means you're getting quality
