I would spend $20 on a heat gun and take apart your headlights and paint them black yourself.

DIY for black housing works best IMO.

If you want to experiment, buy some spare heads just in case. But usually, it's not hard to do a DIY black housing.

well my boyfriend was telling me how he was going to do the same to his headlights (he has a 98 integra) and then he decided against it because he said it would have really shitty reflection (for the light) or something like that, would it do the same with mine? im not too sure if id wanna do it myself because i have no idea what id be doing lol. but i might buy the ebay ones and if they dont work out then ill do it myself. but yeah thanks for the help. : )

I don't see why they'd have shitty reflection. I did a DIY on mine (94 Integra) and they were nice and bright still. My friend did it to his Integra as well, still nothing that bugs the reflection.
