by the way my car is black...what do u think???

marcuse 12-11-2006 07:39 PM

for sure black jdm housing. the other head lights look like aliens.

blacked out OEM heads

skunk2civic04 12-11-2006 07:58 PM

Blacked out OEMs. I had a pair of those projectors and loved the aggressive look of them, but the outer plastic lens was obviously made of some inferior quality plastic and started getting small cracks that looked like buildup. I'm planning on using the clear reflector pieces from my projectors and inserting them into my stock headlights once I black them out. IMO, the OEMs look a lot better when the inside "rings" are also painted vs. just the outer piece.

metalviper 12-12-2006 12:31 AM

I was leaning towards blacked out OEM, but the projectors just look so damn cool at night! haha
but I also heard that some projectors have leaks and they arent as bright as OEM

sl33pyriceboi 12-12-2006 02:06 AM

^thats where a retro comes in =]

TRIZ 12-12-2006 03:52 AM

^ yeah, retro thoes projectors to HID projectors and you'll blow away the OEM brightness.

IMO: if you have a 03 or earlier, buy the black housing projectors
if you have an 04+ get the JDM ones.. but make sure they arent some ebay rip off crap, kuz that will be a lot worse.. if you have the 04+ do NOT buy the projectors- thoes are super ugly, not exactly aliens, but pretty unstylish. Keep looking

dp_yz713 12-12-2006 12:26 PM

none. it makes you look cool

metalviper 12-12-2006 12:27 PM

Well if i get projectors then I want to put in the HID but i'd have to wait till i get money for that...so still more reason to get the JDM OEM, hmmmm.
I have an 05 so ya the projectors look a little weird! but they all seem to have that same style for 05 civics....dang

MYK1013 12-12-2006 12:33 PM

Do something that probably hasnt been done before........ WHITE out them headies!!

metalviper 12-12-2006 12:35 PM

uhmm...no! haha
i think that would look nasty on a black civic!

For the last two weeks I really have been doing research on doing that... and yeah $$$ and time! But fully worth the $$ and time if done right. Hopfully by next year (summer) I will have completed that.

Kevbotron 12-12-2006 01:54 PM

I have a set of BOH 04's layin around my house, and I'm thinking the same thing, I just afraid of boring out holes in them.... and spending 300$+:hithead: I have plans for a lip kit

04NiGhTHWK 12-12-2006 02:52 PM

Follow ur heart. U feeling the agressive roar of the projectors or the purr of the descreeet JDMs.

Kevbotron 12-12-2006 03:04 PM

You can find the real JDM's here... http://www.passwordjdm.com/product.a...For=&PT_ID=485

Or you can get the knock off JDM on ebay for 100-150 bucks. OR you can get the same effect by you opening you headlight painting them and spending 15 bucks at the most.

AequitasVeritas 12-12-2006 04:49 PM

i haven't had much luck with ebay parts so far...

$400 or $15....

I think I'll try the $15 route and follow that DIY i found not too long ago

texascivic2k1 12-12-2006 04:58 PM

^ Exactly :cool: :tup:

=Mugen7thgen= 12-12-2006 06:01 PM

HID looks so good on civics. Honda should start making hid stock. I think Acuras all do that now.
