Default deciding between headlights

So last night i got into a fender bender. i'm pretty much gonna bite the bullet on this one and getting the bumper repainted and need to replace the headlights... so cheapest way to go is between stock coupe style head lights (i have a Si) or these ebay pro headlights (have halo) + xenon HID. i'm not into that whole flashy after market, apc-like stuff. but its hard times and can't afford to get stock si's. but i do like how HID's look. so... eh like 9 bucks difference with shipping added in. whatta ya say????

Try searching ebay for the OEM headlights, not just aftermarket ones. I was searching just a few days ago because my driver's side headlight was a bit scratched up. Good Luck.

aftermarket headlights are generally crap. i had the angel eye projectors on my old integra and the light output and focus was ****. the stock headlights were much brighter and focused the light much better. i'm guessing the projector headlights for the civic are equally shitty.
