buying new headlights opinios needed Well I need to buy new headlights.
Why you ask?
Because my stock headlights are all messed up yellowing scratched ugly
I have already blacked them out but they are still ugly.
I am thinking of buying the Password JDM ones because I like the clear look.
Please don't tell me to buy projectors I had those and they suck light output and pattern beam suck.
Also I DONT want to buy new OEM and black them out I cant think of going threw that **** again to end up with foggy headlights again.
So what are my options?

Haha your right my mind is made up, I guess my real question would be are the headlights from password JDM the original Honda parts or are they the same stuff sold on e-bay I would rather buy Honda factory parts than e-bay knock-offs.

I want it to say HONDA on the lens cover I bet that **** at password JDM is not real Honda product I might just end up buying new ones at the steelership.
Anyone know what they cost? I'm guessing $225.00 each

Yes, Password stuff is all HOP's ... the problem w/ their headlights are the beam is different, their's tend to shine up and to the left.. since they drive on the left side of the road.. OEM shines it the other way. Long story short, you will blind the oncoming traffic with Password's HL's, since they're designed for driving in Japan

Just did a search using the search button and look what I found.
Damn! thank you to member Gearbox for finding this sight not genuine Honda but at this price it's worth a try I'm ordering from these guys.

yup i was just gonna post that lol. pre-blacked out all you do is install them. i would not buy the passwordjdm ones, they are real i can tell from the pics, but you are gonna have every car hi beaming you cause the beam will slope up the wrong way. and theres no way to change it. youre right about projectors, i just bought new tyc and they are horrible. good thing im swapping with a real oem projector.

I think I want to go with the clear ones but the gunmetal one sound tempting I just hope they don't fog up and that they fit nice too.

All the yellow hazing and most scratches will come out with mother's plastic polish, you can do it by hand but it'll be like brand new with a good buffer. I like my commute

Re: buying new headlights opinios needed
if u are happy with your headlights, and dont want to buff them out yourself, bring them to a dealership or autobody shop and they will buff it out and resurface them for you. will be a hella of alot cheaper then new lights. the lense will look brand new too. just something to consider before spending more money
Re: buying new headlights opinios needed
^^ really? do u think any body shop will do it? how much will that all cost? and another thing...the headlights from freestyle motorsports look nice and all but i really wish the amber peice was in there. im in murdocks same position. i blacked mine out but the lens are getting yellowish. at least the drivers side is. the passenger a little. its been liek that since i bought the car but i wanted to black out mine so bad. i tried getting sum new oem ones off the forum but some guy jus took my money and i got screwed. i prefer oem ones to black them out. this time i can do it my way PERFFECTT

if you go that route to clean the lens off, youre gonna have to use a quality plastic sealer every month or two otherwise they will just become yellow again. the uv protection layer is already stripped away from previous miscare.
Re: buying new headlights opinios needed
got an example of that gearbox? what do u do jus rub on w.e it is onto the lense every once in a while. blacking out my headlights came out perfect besides the yellowish haze on top. if i can jus touch them up..thatd be ok i guess until i can find sum new oem headlights. also how do i use that mothers stuff. i keep hearing about a buffer..

i use wolfgang clear plastic sealer. apply like wax, let it haze, then buff it off. every month or two. makes them shiny and smooth so water beads off, and also has UV protection.
