Hi all

Are those things any good? How is the fit and finish, thats one thing I am always concerned about when buying aftemarket stuff. Does it include the turn signal besides the healdight as well like the JDM one piece lights?

Anyone have pics of their ride with these 1 piece projectors? Please post if possible...

Thanks!

 

a freind of mine had a set of 1 piece projectors on his car. he loved how they looked but he tended to avoid driving at night cause light output was worse than stock.

 

hmmm...did he try higher wattage bulbs, maybe?

Thanks!

Did he find out why it was like that? Does the cables have anything to do with it? Who was the person he bought them from (at ebay)? if he got them from there. I really need to know , Thanx

 

all of them suck. it has nothing to do with the seller or brand or wattage or whatever. they just aren't properly designed and you can't see at all. Also they look nasty...

i agree one hundred percent
they have a very poor beam pattern on the ones i have seen, and adding higher wattage bulbs ends up with a crappy pattern that is bright, or melted headlights.

 

Ah..hah. Exactly what I was looking to hear, guys. I figured as much. I am afraid to order clears for the corners as well from ebay as I think they will fit like ****..dunno if APC is any better. Lets see..

Thanks!

 

Well then what do you guys think of the Dual halo "angel eyes" headlights for a 98+ Accord? they come one piece OEM so the aftermarket ones should be the same right? since the older accords come 2pc OEM

 

You really better be very cautious with aftermarket headlights, because they can all have problems with the light diffusion, since the beam pattern is something that really needs to be studied during the design process, and a lot of aftermaket companies overlook that. All their concern is making the piece look good, and at the lowest manufacturing cost possible.

If I were you, my safest bet would be to find something that is DOT approved, and even then...

holly hell! DOT= Department Of Transportation. everything to becansidered street legal has to pass DOT tests for stregnth, durability, safety, yadda yadda yadda. most **** for our cars out there isnt DOT approved, especially projectors...the even if part is...even if you can find em, your still prolly gonna have shitty results or get harrased by local law enforcement for them.

 

Well i want to buy some "angel eyes" dual halo lights for my accord and i found some that are S.A.E. and D.O.T. approved . Is it worth it or is that still not good enough? Sounds good to me for $193 , but i want your opinions first because ill be the first to admit that im anewbie in HT and basically aftermarket stuff since i barely have any experience with it. Thanx

 

I don't know, Legend, I guess you'd probably have to try ad experience with them. But as I tell you, I'm very suspicious with all aftermarket headlight products, for the reasons I stated above.
