Re: some new pics of sedan, comments?
I suggested you change back to stock headlights a while ago and you were like" nah stock headlights are for losers, that's a dumb idea" Tail lights are mad hawt, but I kinda agree about the rims. Are you trying to make your car looks less modified or closer to stock or is that just me? Also how attached are you to the orange turn signal bulb, because I would suggest going to clear/white as that is the only thing that breaks the clean lines of the cleared headlight and the silver paint.

What are your thoughts on using a clear turn signal bulb to go with your clear sidemarkers. I think that a clear turn signal is illegal (maybe not sure) but if that doesn't bother you I think it would look really clean. And that is still a really nice example of a clean sedan, so gj with your constant innovation/renovation.

thanks guys, tails are straight JDM, stamped with honda logo. the fogs are projectors from bmw and they are painted yellow inside. I was running around with clear signals before but i like the amber better, and it keeps me legal. i have some philips vision plus in the headlights and they are nice and bright. rims are 15 inch konig hurry, 13.6 lbs each. here are some night pics...

I like the tails.. I've been so lazy waiting around for warm weather to put mine in
I too am with everyone else w/ the rims... I dunno they look small w/ the chrome lip
But I'm sure your ride quality has us beat

nope those are the bone stock H4 clear bulb halogens. i would say they are as bright as the valeos hid i used to have to my eyes. and better color render instead of everything looking washed out. i was shocked how good the light was esp on dark roads. halogen ftw!

hahaha.......
anyways i think its cuz this is obviously yellower, so its easier on teh eyes, and you see the yellow a bit more.....
you just cant explain it.....its almost impossible that ur stock halogens come lose to valeos (even though valeos arent the greatest projectors)
ive compared stock civic with my tsx retro, and boy, its like day and night....

No way I could go back to halogen, now that I got my valeos. I admit projectors do look a bit tacky. Best compromise is retro in OEM housing. But the light output and the range that it goes can't be compared to halogen lights. I see everything 100X better.

maybe i got a special set? lol. they even have a semi-good cutoff. but really, i could not see hid light at all in the rain, today i could see everything, and the yellow fogs just add to it. driving with hid the light was brighter i wont lie, but the pure white really messed with my eyes and looked dim to me. the yellowish halogens are so much easier to see and they light up with a good range all around. i can even see further ahead compared to the hid projectors.
heres my reflector cut.
falkens tails are the first 01-02 jdm design, mine are the 03-05 design. and yea i got mine from passwordjdm. i like both, but for me the clear lenses match my clear heads and sidemarkers better.
