Default headlight swap

I wanted to buy a set of Halo headlights for my 92 honda accord...but I have looked everywhere and I can't seem to find any. But there are Halo headlights available for the 94-97 accord's. I was wondering if there was a major difference between the 90-93 models and the 94-97 model accord's...because if it was possible, I would put the 94-97 headlights on my 92. Would they fit?, or tell me where I can buy a pair of 90-93 Halo's.

Check ebay. The 94-97 would require modification to fit your car.

Also, HEY your from AKRON!

guess i'll be the first to tell you to stay away from halos, as the accord is not a bmw.

in any event, no the 5th gen headlights will not bolt right up to your 4th gen... it'd require modification of the hood, front fenders, and bumper... i.e. you'd need to take it to a body shop for some custom fabbing...

i have no idea where you can get halo's, i'd assume ebay or nopi...

I'll second the no-halo thing. THEY'RE FOR BEEMER's AND ****!!!!!!! If you want a nice set of lights that look clean just grab some JDM black housings. OR... if your a cheap bastard, paint your stock ones.

I think Halo's look okay. Unlike most of the people here I don't like the black housings and would prefer to have Halo's. I don't really like most of the projectors but some of the halo's are ok. I like the look of the stock headlights a lot and they look better to me than any aftermarket housings. I like the Halo's ok but would rather have stock but the only ones I would even think of changing out stock ones for are the integra style headlights.

And you'd probably weld a coffee can to your exhaust if I told you it dyno'd at +20 whp

No I wouldn't I like the Apexi N1 which you may consider a coffe can exhaust but thats about the only one like that I like similar to a coffe can. I would also put custom piping with it not just the muffler. I don't really like Halo's but like them better than the black housings. I prefer the stock ones to all of them although I do like the Integra style. To me the black housings are played out as everyone and there brother has them and they don't look all that great anyway imho.

I don't like a lot of the JDM stuff. I like the looks of them ok but I prefer the chrome look to the black. I also am not a huge fan of black wheels some of them are nice but I would rather have silver or chrome although preferable silver. I wouldn't want the big bling chrome ones on my Accord but do like some chrome ones.

We also have the US versions of the Accords so why make them look like the SiR's?

Because no USDM version of the accord can even compare to a true JDM SiR

I agreee that no usdm can compare to the SiR's and I am in favor of adding the H22's to them but most of the appearance stuff I don't think should be added to a USDM car. I haven't jumped on the JDM bandwagon like everyone else. It was body kits and spoilers around here a few years ago now it is all JDM stuff as in black headlights and wheels and I can't say I'm a big fan of them but some of the cars arnt bad I just prefer not having the stuff on mine.

The only reason there is a "JDM Bandwagon" is because of those 2 movies which I refuse to name. Only those true to the JDM scene can truly appreciate a well put together JDM conversion. All these ricer f---er's have no idea what they are looking at. That's what makes JDM great... it took back the import scene for the REAL enthusiasts.

i like that Apexi N1, but i have a stock dual exhaust right now and i need something with 2 pipes instead of one, i think one looks kinda funny on accords, just preference..but i need a performance dual tip exhaust to.

Some friends put globbs of vasaline all over my car, i was pretty ticked off and am not sure how to get it off the car. I have dishwashing "detergent" like soap, but most of the time it will take off the wax finish. I can use it on the glass, but what about the body and the rims and the key holes, and everything else, OMG!
