headlight options
 
should i go with jdm black housing headlights or tyc black headlights? I just can't make up my mind need help!

what kind of car? coupe/sedan color? green coupe? i would say black housing looks cleaner and will have more light output. black tyc projector will also look nice though. i would say go jdm

lewal 10-23-2005 01:19 PM

I like the look of the TYC, but dunno about the actual quality of light output... But at the same time, blacked out headlight looks really good

Ken2k2 10-23-2005 01:27 PM

yeah i've got a green coupe. i was thinking of tyc's before but then i found black jdm and so now leaning towards those.

tyc will not have as much light on the road as stock. thats also something to consider.

Ken2k2 10-23-2005 01:37 PM

yeah that's one of the reasons i haven't done this mod yet. but since i wrecked the car and need a new headlight figure i mights as well get it done now. i'm thinkin JDM

Curious on the 01-03's what is the light in the middle of the headlight for, my 05 doesn't have it, and one dealer in town has no idea what they are for. (I asked).

juzthewy 10-23-2005 01:54 PM

^signals i think. maybe i juzt seen them wired that way

Ken2k2 10-23-2005 02:31 PM

i assume you are talking about the clear light below the turn signal? that is just a clear parking light

I had the same problem deciding thatwhen i got my tycs about a year ago. little longer now. Was gonna go the jdm look, but i didnt want to ruin my stock lights incase I wanted to go back to stock, and not pay a ton to get new ones. Then I decided if i was gonna pay for headlights I might as well get something different. So I went with the tycs, like those better than the other style projectors. That was my reason for going with them, and still am glad I did. Look sexy with eyelids.

As for as light output. It is worse, but only slightly. And the Brights on them kick ass. Lights up everything! I would say better than stock brights. So for those times its a little darker than I want, just flip those brights on, and no problem.

Recently i have been considering an HID kit. But most people say they are a waste, and to just retrofit. So Thats my plan, just wait, will be worth it in the end.

Whatever you decide it will look good, I keep considering switching to the JDM look at times. But I'm lazy, and still like what I have.

es2k2 10-24-2005 03:35 PM

get retrofit, i kind of regretting of having HID on my oem housing headlight now...

Nick 10-24-2005 03:40 PM

It all depends on what u want. IMO TYC's with eyebrows Look better than blacked out stock headlights, But the light output is worse. I would rather be able so see the road at night, so i switched back to stock. But whne i get a retrofit, I might go with the tyc's again.

02civic_rida 10-24-2005 04:20 PM
