Keep what you have. Waste of money IMO.

Just buy some bulbs....then if thats not enough of an improvement go ahead and start looking for an hid conversion!!!

I agree. I thnk they look good but they don't really do anything beyond that.

ANGELIQUE

OK, great, thanks for the advise. ~~

HID's

elevatethis

reg halogen -
projectors w/halogen -
hids w/o projectors -
hids w/projectors -

duh.

Projector headlights with HIDs lights up the road well. Stock headlights with HIDs lights up the road well. Stock headlights with reg H4 bulbs shine a helluva lot brighter than projector headlights with reg H3 bulbs in them. For the most part, if you're running projector headlights, especially on a Civic, then it's almost a must to have foglights in order to illuminate the ground in front of you while driving, at least from the experiences I've had in other people's cars while driving at night.

The foglights do help provided they are aimed right. Nothing beats a car that came stock with HID's though IMO.

I would do it just for the look, IMHO.

projectors suck unless you put HID in them

The civic I just got has projectors in them and i'm not really impressed by the lighting at all, I'm gonna try to get some stock headlights to replace them.

i have projectors, light isn't very good and adjustability isn't very good.

Keep stock headlights and stock bulbs, forget those supercrap lights!!!

Or my personal fav is stock headlights with HID retro. I plan to do this, this summer.

Exactly, they look good. They're not bright at all, I'd have to drive with my hi-beams on, just to see well in the dark. Stick with stock, get some brighter bulbs.

HIDs, or homemade projector setup so everythign looks stock

Does anyone care to mention bulbs that actually light the road up better? From what I have gathered, all types of headlights (different makes, same style i.e. h3, h4) are pretty much the same. Are there bulbs that are better, because my stock civic bulbs blow ***... I think they might be misaimed, but they still light pretty poorly.
