Icon2 good or bad projector lenses?

the civic i just baught has aftermarket headlight asemblies. in the low beam theres a standard h3 bulb (i know cause i had to replace one) not sure whats in the high beam one.

anyway i noticed in the lowbeam lense part its a projector lense like the fish eyeball style.

if i where to go HIDs is there a way to tell if there shitty lenses or good ones?

i can tell from the funny parking light bulb thats goofy lookin not sure if there the same or not though but thats what they look like.

unless there these from advanced auto parts

aftermarket projector headlights like that dont have good output at all.. if you want good output then go with a retrofit with real hid projectors..

if you dont want to do a retro, i say go back to stock lights.. youll get better output than the headlights you have now..
