I have been searching around for a good pair of projector head lights to put on my 92 civic hatch.

Just curious to know what everyone thinks of these. Also, Is that a turn signal it comes with?

why projectors? I personally don't like those but if you do, go for it.

 

why not?

i like the tyc 1 piece looks way better :]

 

I should have been more clear. I wanted opinions on quality.

And what are these TYC ones i keep hearing of. Do you have a link?

 

these are nice !



BUUUT i think im going to go with the first ones i posted

 

yeah i only like the tyc because no halo / has amberish corner.. but the first ones are okay.. just dont like the the wierd thing on the left
and yes those are turn signals!

 

the halo is just a parking light type thing right?

 

i dont really know.. but im sure you can wire it up to be whatever you want it to be :-p

 

retrofit.

if you want to see better then why not retrofit

 

i still dont understand what the hell retrofitting is?

 

you wont see better...typically the light output is cut down with those lights...yes a correctly installed HID retrofit is an exception...I have had bad times with aftermarket lights like that...leaking...the chrome flaking off etc...beleive it or not the Honda Engineers kinda knew what they were doing...

I agree. The only projectors that have decent light output form what I've seen is TYC.

Aftermarket projectors just do not have the quality and standards of OEM projectors, and youre usually better off just keeping your stock housings or doing a retrofit.

 

you guys keep mentioning retrofitting? what the hell is that?

Is it like taking acura TSX lights and putting them in an EG?

Also, TYC is pretty good quality, right?

 

i say do what you want to do
half the people on h-t are haters..
they think everyones car should be JDM or its RICE..

Yes that is exactly what it is. Retrofitting is when you take the xenon (HID) lights and projectors from a newer car like the TSX, s2000, audi or BMW and put them into a stock or aftermarket housing. By doing this you will be able to see better.

 

Yea, not the WHOLE headlight assembly, just the projector part (the little lens thing that looks like a telescope).

If you look at Viszual's link or the 'HID retrofit' thread, youll see how it looks.

 

So if i got this set and some TSX projectors... what else would I need?
