okay, so heres my dilema, i tinted my headlights and made eyelids for them, i thiink it looks fine and everything and the vision at nite isnt THAT bad.. but my GF also drives my car and she doesnt like it , so she made a deal with me that we're going to go half and half on a new set of aftermarket headlights so it can still have a custom look but she can see at nite... and i dont know which set i want, i've narrowed it down to 2...

heres my car ...


heres headlight option 1


heres headlight option 2

 

Number 2 will not light anything up at night with a black reflector. Go with your first option.

 

i'd get option2

 

well option one will be worse without HIDs, and option 2 paint your own lights and trade lenses with someone.

reflector isnt black..its jsut darker looking. because its surrounded by black.

 

I'd go with option 2 as well

 

option 1 with at least 8k hids

 

option one
and quick question why is ur bumper flat black?

 

i would say option 2 if u r not going to have hid, and if u take out the smoke part lol
these are mine


and no they are not smoke lol

 

I would get the HID's I think the factory painted ones look like crap.

 

I have the 3Gen projectors ans the light output is pretty good and Im running the halogens still, so HIDs should be better. But I also like the all black stock housings, except a black reflector wouldn't imagine thered be alot of light output with that. But how about instead of buying new lights just re-do the black on yours lighter, you'd save some $ and you'd retain the custom look you want.

 

i think your signature pic just persuaded me to go with the projectors, they look awsome... :] and i'm not exactly sure how the tinted reflector would work well enough to make it worth buying

 

projectors for sure.

 

Do like my headlights.

 

stay with the stock look....go with the black ones with the chrome housing...they are like 200 on ebay! i got them on as well, check my pics might give you an idea of what it might look like on silver

 

I'd say go with black gen 2. Don't like the way the 3 rd gen halos are lined up. One higher than the other

Number 2 reflector is smoked. Like the market lights

 

How good is the brand JDM?? I found a good deal on the Projector set and it comes with an JDM HID kit and i can choose between 6k, 8k, 10k, and 12k... i'll probably order the headlights this week, but the last time i baught a HID kit, it didnt work.. so i want to know if JDM is a good brand b4 i spend that kinda money, Thanks!!

 

JDM isn't a brand, it stands for Japanese Domestic Market. But with HIDs, I'd go with 6K - they're about bright white and give you more light than the other options. Oh and go with your first option - the halo projectors.

 

1 more question, willl these burn any harnesses?? i put nokya blue bulbs on my car when i first baught it and week later it melted something and the dealership had my car for 3months

IMO non of the projector headlights look good

Black stockers are the best, mine are jut like option 2 and i have no trouble at night

 

you share a car with your gf?

 

I say drop the gf and do what you like lol. I vote for number 2, but you can paint stock ones yourself. Ohh and one other question. What did you use to black out your headlights like that?

 

i did the how to on painting the housings a couple years ago. it was freakin easy. go with a diy option 2

auto nightshade. its a spray can

 

^^^ I used that to paint my housing units blue a few years ago, I didn't scrape the glue on the second one and it worked so much better.

 

Your car is the sex
