Hey guys,

I wanted to know what brand is best that makes aftermarket headlights.

I am looking into getting a hid retro done. I can't do it on the Stock because its glass..

Valeo with D2S bulbs, TSX Balsters

So I need one that is plastic

 

I'm assuming by glass you mean the fluted pattern for halogen lights etched into the glass. With your projectors, I'd look into getting the aftermarket APC projector style headlights with the glass lenses. Was going to do the same thing, but I need to get decent rims/suspension first .

See http://www.hidplanet.com/forum...t=crx and http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/ for more details.

yup you got it. APC seems like a cheap company. I don't feel confortable using their ****. I want something decent that will last.

Its true, most APC parts are cheap, but their headlights are an exception. They are very well built and fit good too. Mine are 6 years old now, no complains.

 

those headlights don't look all that bad and I might consider getting some like that. Closest thing on ebay that I found was this

deetz ur paint looks really shiny

 

dam 6 years now thats long.

how much did you pay for your headlights??

 

Do they make an SiR/EDM version? Id like to do an HID install, but would want to use projector headlights.

Best bet is probably trying to contact an aftermarktet company in Europe like APC.

When i bought them years ago, think they cost me about $200 US...parts sold for more $$ then

 

kool.

I need to hunt me a set now do you park your car outside??

how did it resist the elements of weather. my 89 headlights sometimes get water in them how about urs?? any problems with it??

I know from experience apc **** are shitty but maybe not there headlights.. I have a (retro hid) setup waiting to go in..

 

i just got my APC headlights the other day and they are great quality... i ended up paying a little less then $90 for mine new i'm debating doing the hid retro seeing that i've done one before... but i'm poor so i think i'm just going to try some of the toshiba HIR 9011 bulbs

where in the ******* world did you get it for 90 holla at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

also is it plastic??

if its glass its pointless to get because the HIDs won't work right!!

 

The APC lenses are supposedly glass, and they can be had on e-bay or online for around $90-$100. Just google em'.

Why wouldn't they work correctly? I was under the impression that glass was better than plastic for HID's.

Same here

 

both work... plastic is just prone to yellowing... there are ways around that though.

 

I know this is kind of off topic,,but I installed some Audi hid's in my stock headlights and it just didnt work at all for me ..I got pulled over a couple times..I never realized how brigt they were and how they were blinding everyone..I guess I need some projectors ?

 

This is why I hate people who put hid kits in there stock headlights, blinding as hell! If you want hids, do it right.

Well I didnt know what the "right way" was at the time,,And I had no computer so I coudn't just go on the internet and search,, I had to find everything out the hard way,by actually trying it.
