nobody on this site will tell you that they prefer the projector lights ever, so it's up to you to decide for yourself.

They're ugly, but I would prefer the projectors. They would be the best platform for an easy retrofit.

The problem with CTR headlights and other JDM headlights are they're designed for cars that are RHD and roads where you drive on the lefthand side. You can modify them (tear them apart) to make them work like the USDM headlights so you won't get flashed everywhere, but who wants to tear apart several hundred dollars worth of headlights to make them work right?

EDM LHD headlights would be a better bet. Those would be the type so many in the US call "SiR" headlights (they came on all models).

the only difference is the reflector . it comes out easy as pie, goes in even easier. i didnt bother doing it to mine and i never get flashed.

you can add hids to projectors headlights, if you add hids to stock its to bright. the projectors beams work better for HID's IMO.
i personal like projectors and have had them in in a 94 civic, 90 crx, and in my integra(stock), now that i have a 97 civic, I have been looking at projectors and can only find the ones with the gay halo's I cant stand halo's
i wish someone made projectors with out halo's for my civic.

so if you like the projectors get them, if not get the black housings. just get the ones you like, who cares what anyone else likes, its your car

Yes.

I did make a typo with saying the CTR was LHD instead of RHD though.
