I would much rather have xenon than have a black housing headlight with halogens. I've had experience with the ebay lights on my civic SI before. quality is not oem, but does look pretty good. I don't know, I am just a lil worried that aftermarket healights will not hold up as well as stock.

I don't think that picture shows much. The sun reflection hits the camera and makes the headlights look stock. Try different angles, and maybe even different time during the day. Sorry if I'm asking for too much, I just think the pic kinda sucks.

Blacked out Halogens

Dyen,

Now all you need to do is paint that grill black...

I did that and it really looks good....

I will take some pictures of my car this evening and get them scanned...

Oh, and another thing I noticed is that the light pattern is for left hand drive cars... They sure don't put out much light either (halogens suck compared to the Xenons).

Did you get your lights to work without having to turn on the fog lights? My fogs don't work but I have to turn them to the "on" position just to get the lights to turn on! Did I need to replace the fog bulbs or something? I changed the city light bulbs to amber and it looks really good. Let me know...

the lights work jus fine with and without the fogs..I used what was already attached..haven't tried using the old fogs with the new ones..

thinkin about changing the turn signal to the white bulb instead of the orange..

also, you can crack open the halogen and hids and replace the backing which I will try to do..later..

looks great, crack open is bad phrasing, sounds scary, you can bake open the headlights

if he can't tell the difference between the blacked out headlights in that pic vs the stock lights in your avatar, he is blind, don't waste your time taking new pics cause he won't be able to see them either.

Yes, I'm blind and stupid! Don't bother, I'm a waste of time... and probably according to BigSash, a waste of sperm as well.
