Looking for aftermarket headlights that take 9005/9006 bulbs. But for an 03

I'm looking for aftermarket headlights that will fit on an 03 civic that take the 9005/9006 bulb combination.

The 04-05 headlights take the bulbs but won't fit an 03 I don't think.

Anyone know any that do?

doesnt exist. all the 01-03 aftermarket headlamps take H1 or H3 bulbs and they all suck for light output. i have pics if youre interested. if you want to go aftermarket, you should swap out the projector unit with a better one from oem car like audi, mercedes, etc. halogen or hid depending on your preference.

Darn, was trying to figure out a way to get HIR bulbs on the front of my car. I hear they're bright as hell when hooked up to that catz zeta.

Is there an auxiliary lamp that takes 9005/9006? I've checked all of hella's stuff and can't find one.

yeah there is a projector lamp on ebay called P1 which you can order in 9005 size (and then fit HIR into it). but i have no idea what the output is like. HIR with catz zeta is basically brighter than most HID lo beam setups. if you really need tons of light and have a somewhat big budget, the hella xenon HID driving lights are the best you can buy but they cost well over $500. check rallylights.com for a huge selection of hella products. the "modules" section has all the projector type stuff and fog lamps.

heres the ebay P1 i mentioned. if you get them post some pic, im curious about what kind of output it has.

Thanks for the info, can't afford the hella xenon HID driving lights, but I might look into those P1s.
It would be a gamble though as to which is brigher:

1. High beam zeta boosted philips XP X-treme power +80 bulbs
or
2. Normal high beam phillips +80
and zeta boosted HIRs in those ebay P1 fogs

Whatever I end up doing I'll definitely post up pics

the oem h4 hi beam is terrible with or without boost. i would definately go for the driving lights. even with just hir and no catz zeta, they will be very bright. those p1 are fogs i believe, so you would have to open them up and remove the metal cutoff shield to turn them into driving lights (basically a supplemental hi beam).
