Default Integra after market headlights - Anyone experience them?

I know it's not OEM nor JDM (tried the 1-piece before, didn't like it) but was wondering if any of you teg owners tried these headlights offered on eBay. I like the projector inside (which I'll be replacing) and it doesn't have the fluted pattern which is perfect for HID. Whoever has these, did you notice a better light pattern? Any goods? Bads? TIA

I know they are cheap.

The only reason why I want this headlight is because I'm doing a bi-xenon projector install with Auerswald 50w ballast HID combo which I cannot have the fluted pattern with stock lens. No point in buying a HID with stock headlights since the pattern is just gut ugly.

Asides from looking cheap, I think they look way out of place on a 10+ year old car. The lights are too contemporary for an old *** car like our DA's.

What didn't you like about the one peices? They wiegh less, put out more light, and IMO, look much cleaner.

Like I said I'm doing a bi-xenon HID install. I cannot have the fluted pattern for a clean cutoff. I already have double HID for my headlights & the fog lights but the OEM's just horrible for any HID unless I go projector.

I think they would look alot better if the separate lights were more evenly spaced across the width of the headlight. Also if they use decent bulbs they're probably alright. If they use H3's for either low or high beam, I can tell you right now they will suck.

The silver ones look better than the 'gun metal' ones.

I think the black ones resemble the bmw 3 series lights.

Dont know how they would look on the g2 though.

Yeah now that I look at it, I don't like the projector part...but then again stock teg headlights are horrible for HID's. I might just have to live with the stock ones and see if I can modify the housing somehow.

Thx for all the pics & inputs

i think a member just posted up a cutoff modification piece for HID..browse the boards for it.. i think the one-pieces look nice. the one thing i dont like about these headlights (gunmetal ones) is the stupid bulge atop the projector.
