Default Anyone With TYC projector Headlights on there Accord?

Ok so this is my second post on this but i'd like some comments on some owners of these projectors? I worried about crappy light output, projectors seem to do good in close range? TYC is a good name I know, but anyone with them please let me know? Thanks? BTW they have new ones for the 94-97 accord. not just the 98+ now!

I got them on my 02 accord, they are sweet, the light is bright, and they look cool.
the quality of the light is good, but when I first got them they would fog up constantly, So I just drilled a hole in the back for the condensation to escape, and ever since then, no problems, good lights..

The projectors I assume are H3, would you say that they perform comparable to the stock headlamps? Do you get the distance really is what i wanna find out? also was there horizontal adjustments on the projector?

Yes there is a horizontal adjustment and they go just as far as stock for sure, the bulbs are actually H1, both high beam and projectors, so its a little harder to find wicked aftermarket bulbs for them, I am actually looking for yellows, if you know of a good bulb let me know, Ive gone through about 5 different bulb companies and they all burn out within a month, I used to have PIAAs H3 yellow, and they were cool, but they dont make em in H1..
but otherwise ive had them for almost a year and never had any problems..

i've got them on my 97. The triple beam with little halo ring in the middle sorta like the bemmers have. Anyway, I think they are crap. They look cool and all but at night it is very dim. Not bright at all. Also h3 bulbs are usually the fog lams bulbs so if i try to get a higher than 55watt bulbs they burn out too quickly... like once a month. So I wouldnt recommned them, but again.... thats just me

So... I drive with my brights on

I got a Dark Green 2 door Accord, with the black Tyc Taillights, and will likely get the JDM clear marker with the single bulb. No bumper signals installed, but have a set of black ones sitting around. Oh and 20% tints. Dont know how to post pics but want too

That sounds really ricey. I'd ditch the taillights. And there is no 6th gen JDM accord unless you count the Euro R so youre just getting 'styled' lights that arent of good quality...

I drive a 5th Gen, Im not a big JDM enthusiast, but I do respect there style. My TYC tails cost me $40. IMO TYC is better than all other aftermarket light makers out there, such as APC Junk, or others.
Since some others feel that TYC aint that great what brand company would you go with besides JDM lets say?

My bad, yes DO look for JDM lights. You're 5th gen. You can get some real JDM headlights and sidemarkers etc. Clear is not really JDM. JDM is amber...

&lt;---Jumped on JDM bandwagon somewhat.

8K? Yikes!

Try a 4300K or a 6000K at most.......

8K will achieve that ultimate ricer look....yikes!

Do you mean to let the condensation out?
if so then do it in the back bottom of the housing where you cant see it and so that it could drip out..

Bringing up a old thread, but anyone have any actual experience with these.
I just picked up a set, and was wondering about the install.

Has alot of wiring and D1S HIDs.
