I am going to be getting new headlights for my EK. My 2 choices are Real Type R's or Real SIR's. The only difference is one is a dark housing and the other is an all chrome housing. Which ones should I get?

Here are the links: Type R's http://www.passwordjdm.com/pro...D=253

SIR's: http://www.passwordjdm.com/pro...D=253

 

type rs

 

SIR or DIY gunmetal. Save a lot more money with both options. I honestly cannot justify paying upwards of 400 for headlights, let alone 500.

I already did that and messed up on them. I painted the spot behind the bulb and I could not seal them completly and there is condinsation(sp?) in them. Another reason I want real Type R's or SIR's is for the City lights. Here is a pic of what I am talking about:



and here is an updated pic of my car minus the lip:

 

had CTR's they where stolen, but they make a huge difference to the front of your. So noticeable that people that have no idea about Honda recognize it, you will get things like this"there something different about your civic"..or "doesn't look normal, what is it".... it's great
Sir's look nice on lighter colored cars, i think they r a cleaner cooling headlight

The SIR's probably would look better if I had a silver hood. I think the CTR's would look better since I have a CF hood. Other people have told me the same thing.

 

I have SIR's, I brought them back from the Philippines.

Yeah, I've seen your car. I was about to post the comparison pic, I hope you wouldnt have cared.



Which ones do you think will look better on my car?

 

I would go with the SiR just to be different and it does look better

 

Type R

 

get the type r ones so those of us that have the sir's can continue to be a bit more unique

Buy a used set of USDM headlights and do your DIY the right way. Much cheaper.

yes yes, i just recently did a DIY on the SiRs ^O^ arent DIYs always unique?



i had no problem at all completely sealed and stuff

 

obviously no one reads threads anymore. He said he didnt like the look of the DIY headlights. Personally i dont either..they look cheap. I would go with either a set of oem headlights or the Sir's.
