would this look better?

I am thinking about putting stock headlights back with the amber piece and also orange sidemarkers instead of the clear. Do you think this will look good or just keep everything clear with orange bulbs like it is now?? Thanks for any comments.

If anything, I think you should lose the grill. Get the type R style.

i think it looks sweet, but the amber piece and amber sidemarkers would be tight, along with the jdm tails

i think that it stands out a bit more like it is cleared. But it really depends on what you want. I'd stick w/how it is now then when it gets really old change it!

i say keep it the way it is... OR you know what they say, once you go black, you will never go back...

EDIT: oh, and if you do wanna go black I would be more than happy to help if you need it!

EDIT #2: I just remembered... lol... damn pain killers... if you want oem headlights blacked out to just see how it would look, I am planning on getting black projectors this week so... I would probibly be willing to trade headlights w/ u

I never thought I'd see the day when a car is to clean but I can see why you'd want to put some color in it either way looks good...

i think you should go with blacked out headlights with ambers, and amber sides. that would look so sick.

does anyone have pics of stock headlights with jdm sidemarkers? I think australia civics come stock like that. I just wanna make sure the amber matches during the day. If not, I might leave the sidemarker clear and just change the headlight.
