Default Quick Headlamp question.`

I'm buying new corner lights and I came across this,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CRX-E...Q5fAccessories


Anybody have these installed on their CRX?
If so, please post up a pic, also if you have HID's with them I'd like to see that too.

i thought the beam scattered really bad with the oem fluted glass?
getting projectors so that you can use HID's without glare doesn't seem so ricer to me.
aftermarket parts do not mean someone is a ricer. there are tasteful aftermarket tail lights/custom lights i have seen. yeah, the ebay crap looks like crap usually. sometimes you find something decent. this looks decent.

however, "go, before show"

you can just trim the tabs on the high beam bulbs to make them fit in the low beam. it's a big improvement. use a small c-clamp to force the bulb to plug into the lowbeam plug, or use a dremel and cut off the two long tabs between the terminals on the bulb. i did it, have done it before, it's reliable and i've never been pulled over for it.

Thats kind of what I have on my sedan. Perfect for HID since it doesnt scatter the light everywhere. IDGAF if people call it rice, it does a better job than oem.

I won't lie, I used to have a similar set years ago, if I recall correctly there was a label on the lights that read:

"DO NOT USE WITH HID SYSTEM"

Idk why but it was there. Then you are required to use H1 bulbs and the light out put of those lights was worse than having stock headlights
