Looking at projector headlights

I have a SI hatch (ep3) and was wondering if there are any aftermarket projector style headlights that dont look all gawdy and gay. I just want something simple that will allow me to use a plug and play HID kit. And no, I dont want to retro. Cuz I would end up doing it myself, and I would **** something

your post made me laugh. your title says "looking at projector headlights" while you say all you want is a P&P HID kit and no retrofit. if you want a P&P HID kit, get one. they make it for your car. if you want actually projectors/xenons, you HAVE to retrofit. you can make it look OEM like i did mine.

Ok.

If you don't want to do retrofit; best way is to get LHD EDM HID CTR Headlights.
Downsize is this will set you back about $2500, new complete
Ballasts, Ignitors, Bulbs, Harness, LHD HID Headlights(TSX Projectors).


The best mod ever

All "aftermarket" headlights sucks for ep. Looks like crap, output is horrible.
Waste of money.

PNP KIT also sucks.

I guess you will just have to keep stock headlights, If you not wish to do retrofit or spend money.

you could do a retro for under $700 for ballasts, bulbs, projectors, harness, and an extra set of OEM headlamps. HiDPlanet.com :: Index is where i learned how to do mine.

retrofit is the bestway to go..i got 2 retro's done and its still something i would do in the summer when i have enough money...i already got a tsx projector and a s2k projector..prices is depend on what you want to do with it like color mods and custom shrouds and stuff...if you just want it in there then the price should still throw you in the ballpark of 5 to 7 hundreds depend on the price you find for it..7hundred and up is somthing you try to stay from because you gonna have to use like 200 on the ballasts[ebay got them]it come with bulbs if you are lucky...the slim ballast from the is300 is good for it...goodluck with the project
