dang, that looks nice. i love that stuff. i looked again today when i went at the mirco fiber there for my doors, and the ONLY color they had was hot pink. im like really? you have allllll these colors everywhere else, but hot pink in this? ugh. oh well. im stickin to what i got i guess.

anyways, what do you mean unscrew them from the roof? is there a screw in them to unscrew? or do you just turn them over and over til they come out. i know what plastic piece ur talkin about, i messed with it, but thought i was gonna break it off, so i stopped. lol. i dont think i'd take the mirrors off, i'd just tape it up very good and paint it with it all together. but i need the visor off to do it. are they easy to get back on?

lowlife9

yeah were it attaches to the roof the swinging part there is a plastic cover that pops off and there are a couple screws.remove the screws and the sun visor will come off then you can mess with it

about the signature, preview is just to see the signature - you need to save it with the other button :P

dannng i love how mean this makes em look though.. and i love those eyelid's or eyebrow's.. whatever people call em.. is there any way to change the bulb in these headlights to make them brighter at night? so it improves your visability?

and also, are the ones in ^ that pic what these: http://www.slickcar.com/details/3948...headlights.asp would be similar to? i cant tell from the pic on that site if there are 2 halo rings or just 1.. but thought i'd ask anyways. lol

civicchick2001

lol i did save it but every time i come back to a thread and look at my reply or whatever, there's nothin under what im saying. oh well. its all good.

Personally, I'm not a fan of halos
They really only work on Bimmers
As do Audi lights only works on Audis...

However, I do like crystal headlights with city lights.
Which I might plan to do sometime in the near future.

civicchick2001

dang.. dont even get me started on audi's.. they make my heart melt.. i lovve those cars. especially the R8..

anyways, i understand what u mean about certain lights being for certain cars. and i agree, but i do wanna find a headlight that does look nice, clean, and sharp for my car, and if they happen to have halo's then ill just have to deal with it. the reason i like these http://www.slickcar.com/details/3948...headlights.asp is because they dont seem so busy.. if ya get what i mean.. they seem clean and slick. there are some other ones that seem to have like 7 different things goin on in one light. 3 lights on the bottom, 2 on the sides, strip across the top, reflectors, etc.. and those might fit some people, but too much for me. these seem simple, yet sharp. what is your take on that?

Kennykid2002

Still too much stuff goin on for me in those headlights

I like OEM style, without the ambers
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...541#vi-content

Looks sexy on a white/black civic

civicchick2001

i like those too.. and i also like workin with black and white colors. that'd make things 10x easier, but oh well.. she's blue and ill just have to deal with it. lol.

i think that's what makes me not like the oem style so much, is that amber in them. cuz when i look at those u posted, they look good. really good.

how come every time i see a brand new audi one of there christmas lights are burned out. also i saw a piar of OBX halo headlights on ebay they saidthey were equipt with ION projectors im not sure what brand ion is but maybe they are halfway decent.

civicchick2001

i found a post on this forum talkin about it a little bit.

https://www.civicforums.com/forums/2...rojectors.html

i love how the ION lenses look.. the purple/yellow/blue/weird light they give off depending where you are in front of em.. if im not mistaken (which i could be) its the same kinda light you see like on a lot of cadillac's.. escalades and cts's have em mostly. ive never ever seen that look on a civic though, so that'd be different, and possibly worth lookin into. do you got a link of where you were lookin at em?

and yeah, the audi's seem to have an issue with those lights. ive maybe seen 1 or 2 with a full set of the lights on at the bottom, otherwise, there either one or more out on em.

civicchick2001

do u have to have different headlights in order to have these?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/9007-...Q5fAccessories

i'd really like to get some super white almost blue bulbs.. i miss those, i used to have em before my civic.. and if these dont work, what do i search for to find this type? or who makes the best type i guess i should ask.. ?

civicchick2001

or these? it says it will fit in an 01 civic.. anyone have these? or tried em?

Are you trying to get actual HIDs?
Or just HID-like bulbs?

Because I get all my HID's from this guy on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-HI...spagenameZWDVW

Bought 3 sets from him, all work great
And we use H4/HB2/9003 bulbs

iTrader: (22)

I say you save up and do a morimoto retro in your stock headlights

civicchick2001

i aint tryin to get crazy just yet, so im gonna stick with HID-like bulbs for now..

is that "H4/HB2/9003 bulbs" what i should be lookin for? will those last ones work that i posted?

civicchick2001

i just want somethin purdy but yeah, that is a good idea

lowlife9

those ebay xenon bulbs won't last a month stay away from no name stuff like that. heres the obx ion link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...item33698355c7
if your looking for just bulbs get philips extreme power bulbs there the brightest legal bulbs you can get otherwise just het HIDs. i love there cheezy promo video they got http://www.lighting.philips.com/in_e...ghting&lang=en

civicchick2001

im really thinkin about gettin new bulbs now that ive cleaned up my headlights.. i looked at those phillips ones, and they seem super bright, but do you know of any that have that almost blue tint to em? that are legal but good and wont blow after a month?

civicchick2001

what about these from phillips?

http://www.lighting.philips.com/us_e...30&id=&lang=en

they are the blue vision kind they have.. are those any good?

iTrader: (95)

the philips bluevision are the brightest blue coated bulbs (still not as bright as clear tho). if you want the brightest light output and whiter than stock, go with philips XP bulbs from www.powerbulbs.com you will not be disappointed.

civicchick2001

thanks for that link. i just checked it out.. and yeah, ill either go with the blue vision ones or the xp bulbs. for some reason i just like the blue tint or (cool white) color of lights. can you buy these things from a store? or does it have to be online? either way is fine, it's just easier half the time to go get em at a store. and just to double check, it kept comin up with H4 bulbs. those will fit in a OEM headlight right?

civicchick2001

dont laugh, but ive never changed a headlight bulb myself either. sooo i dont know how close this is to an 01 civic, but is this just about the same as ours?

Kennykid2002

iTrader: (1)

It's the same thing, and yea, we use H4 bulbs

civicchick2001

k cool

i was cleanin up under my hood a little bit a few min ago, and was lookin at the back of the headlights and man.. that is a tight fit. especially on the driver's side.. there's like maybe 2" of space to work with to get the bulb out.

your power steering reservoir pulls up and out of the way, letting you change the bulb. The manual actually tells you to do that

civicchick2001

oh sweet. thanks for the tip. guess i should look at that thing more often. lol

civicchick2001

these are the ones i would buy right?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/US-DI...Q5fAccessories

to fit in the headlights i have now?
