Default POLL: In Terms Of 99-00 Lighting Options

If you had a choice between the two headlight option below, which would you choose. Which do you think/know has better lighting output, and which do you think looks better on a '00 Coupe.

(1) Option #1: Headlight - Projector Headlight
Description: 99-00 Projector Headlight - Black Housing / Clear Lens
Price: $239.95


---------------------------OR---------------------------------

(2) Option #2: Headlight - Aftermarket Headlight
Description: 99-00 Headlight - Black Housing / Clear Lens
Price: $124.95


Please vote. And don't say Stanley. I know they are good headlights, and they are OEM CTR heads, but they cost too much fazools!

take it from me, I've had the projectors and they SUCK. You can't see a damn thing, now if you get the projectors and retrofit some hid's then i guess that would be ok. As for #2, no because you can do that at home for a 5 dollar can of paint. I painted mine, no shame here and it looks better than a guy i know that has the autodynamic ones like you posted. later

I would paint the stocks. In fact I have painted my stocks!
Dont waste your money on anything that shitty. Either one of those will probally leak and let water in, and get foggy. And the projectors suck by the way.

Option 3

Paint the stock one, 4.99 for a can of krylon, and save the $200 toward an engine swap, turbo nos, whatever, this is what i did, and I couldnt be happier, just take your time and put on a few coats of paint so it looks good.

Nope, they come with clear. If you want the amber you have to take the old ones apart and hope they fit. Pretty gay IMO.

How about a third option. Damn it, I found this too late to add into the list, but what do you guys think about this one. Anybody have any experience with these:



Honda Civic 99-00 JDM Style Headlamps
Price: $230.00
