Headlights for 97' Accord
Some of you all may have changed headlights, so I was just wondering what you recommend. I was thinking changing from stock to these dual halo projector headlights that I found on the internet. Some of you may have done this as well, I was just going to see what kind of review you would give. Thanks in advance.
yeah listen to the muffin man, those cheap headlights suck. i had some way back when, the projector would always come off the adjuster screws. then you either have to get them open, which isn't so easy since they're platic lenses or you have to drive around with the light shaking in the housing which is just plain annoying for you and other drivers.
If you don't want to drop the money on depo's then take your stock headlights put them in the oven, pull 'em apart, and paint the housing black, don't paint the whole thing or you won't be able to see. check accord facts or do a search for black housing headlights.

just remember when you tape off the reflectors to go straight across the bottom and top like in the first pic. most people forget to do so.

So would something like these be considered cheap like you guys are talking about?

It all depends on what style your going for.
