I am weighing the options for lighting on my car.

I am thinking about some one piece headlights but I don't know how the quality is on them and what not.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any brands that have worked for you?

I have looked at about a million on ebay and the pricing isn't too bad. Just kinda want some info before going forward.

I'm done with the whole jdm craze. did all that on my civic. i'm just looking to put some looks into the accord.

 

a guy that was at a meet i went to the other day had those blackhousing "angel eye" lights in his 4th gen and they sucked! he had to drive w/ his brights on all the time...

 

JDM Stanley one piece headlight is the best choice but it costs too damn much so I would suggest a depo which cost around 180 more or less. If you dont have the cash then spend 5 bucks for a can of spraypaint and blackhouse your own headlights.

 

There's no such thing as 'JDM Stanley one piece headlights' for the 5th Gen.

 

yes there is...my friend has it on his 5th gen accord right now!!

 

JDM headlights on a 5th Gen Accord are 2 pieces.

The corner and the headlight.

People have custom fitted JDM 1 piece 6th Gen Accord headlights onto a 5th Gen.

I repeat. There are NO such things as JDM OEM Stanley 1 piece headlights for the 5th Gen Accords.

thanks for correction, hey i got a question, do the jdm ones by stanley need modifications to fit US spec 5th gens?

The two piece JDM ones should fit in without a problem. The only thing is that the wiring will be different but that's real easy.

to clear this up, they are KINDA one piece but where the corner meets the driving light, there's a GAP there so it's not exactly one piece.

and the jdm Sir/euro-R one wouldn't fit

 

There are two type of accord headlight. one is from an japan accord which needs modification:


The other one is the one like the jdm style headlight like you have said but it's manufacture from stanley which cost around 700 bucks. So I didn't get own...do your research before talking.

 

the ones u poseted are for a 6th gen accord so u need to research ur facts before u post the 5th gens never had a 1 piece headlight this has been topic has been argue on so may borads so many times so research ur facts unless u want to go own ur self...yes it needs moding to fit a 5th gen cuz its for a 6th gen...

 

heres the difference
the jdm one piece on the 6th gen

the jdm 2 piece on the 5th gen

nuff said...

 

It even says "four-piece" headlight kits on that website if you can read.

 

I just don't get it, I see posts like this all the time and people still never learn. 5th gens never came with one pieces. This should be the last time anything like this should come up.

 

dont mean to be an *** but use the search button... this has been covered 100x's

 

Ok pals, I wasn't asking **** about jdm headlights.

I did do a search for what I was looking for.

I want to know about one-piece headlights. not jdm 2-piece, or jdm one-piece, or 6th gen differences.

I wanted to know if anyone had experience with AFTERMARKET one piece headlights for a 5th gen.

 

5th gen jdm headlights &gt; 2 piece
4th gen jdm headlights &gt; 1 peice

 

the one piece are euro headlights... i dont get why people think theyre 5th gen headlights....


they came on a cf4 chassis.... and the street price is about 300-350.


now back to the guys question, im assuming the 1 piece headlights you're talking about are the projector ones. those projectors wont give you any decent light output and many people who have had it, have had a lot of problems with mounting them or at least had to spend too much time making them fit right. if you want projectors, tyc are "okay" and sometimes fit right depending on the install. theyre a bit better than the generic 1 pc projectors but they still remain 2 piece and have separate corners.

 

 

thank you for your input. that is EXACTLY the kind of response i was looking for.

 

you want one piecers? buy the ebay cheap projectors, take the lens off, and mount your stock housing to the lens. easy one piece DIY.

 

ahh yes! another good idea! thanks.
