i have the angel eyes in chrome, for appearance wise, it is the best looking lights for our civic, but as for light visibility wise, it doest shine to bright. dont have any problems with it yet, had it for almost a year now. are you still deciding and just getting opinions or have you made up your mind yet?

im still deciding, like ive said in other posts im strictly newbie, so i dont have any clue on which is better or not, or how to 'aim' the projectors, lol my first mod to my car was PIAA plasma white bulbs and that was one hell of a project for me, when i did those i thought i was king lol..... i just wanna get opinions and make my decision after a bit more ... but i think im leaning more towards the TYC because i think they look better, plus ive herd that there have been problems with the angel eyes?

I have the chrome angel eyes headlights for my silver vic. I think they look great, I put some mtec white plasma xenon bulbs, looks very nice IMO. They even "change" colors like how the bmw, and audi's change when they hit a bump or something. It changes from a white, to a blue color to a yellow. I like them a lot, one of the best things I've done to my car. Makes a big diff in the way your car looks. Just my 2 cents.

I got the angel eyes, aimed properly these lights are bright!
Replace the low beam bulbs (h1) when you get them, the ones that come with them are junk, get MTEC's, there great.
Buy them off ebay, you'll save alot!!!!!

The only reason they fog is because people do not plug the extra bulb hole or hook up another light to the hole. I closed mine and they did not fog. I had them on my car for a month in a california winter, in Lake Tahoe of course. I was there for a week in december and no fogging, just the stock bulbs burning out on me. I use the high beam lights until I bought the APC 4100k lights. One of them burned out on me before I took them out.

I'm using my cleared and painted stock lights. I like them better, but that is me.

Best thing about the angel eyes is when you flash your lights on a wall and see the eyes. If you want mine, they are sitting in my room in the box they came in from X3racing(i think) from ebay.

If you decide on the Angel eyes in black, I can sell you mine for $150 shipped. They are in mint condition with no scratches. I also have a silver DC Sports lower tie bar I can sell you for $80 shipped. If you want both I can give to you for cheaper. PM me or email me at ASWZero@hotmail.com.
