I'm still not sold on the aftermarket projector headlights. I bought an Accord that came with a pair and I drove it back in the dark. I couldn't see anything and replaced them with factory headlights as soon as I could.

As I have said before, I 100% agree with you.

My lights, which are the ones linked, suck period.

The look super cool, I have HIDs in the low beams, they have the worst projection I have ever seen.

The high beams are very good though, which is stupid but they are very nice.

I think the factory lights, which have whose knows how much money in R&D, are the best by far.

Most aftermarket lights just look better but function much worse.

So I have an idea. Has anyone ever switched the bumper lights and parking lights (white corner ones) before? I was thinking that if I could switch those wires/bulbs around that I would get the bumper lights to stay on like I desire, while putting my turn signals in my corner lights. Any thoughts?

Please do not do that.

If you are at an intersection wanting to make a left turn your corner lights flashing would not be near visible enough for people to see.

Be safe before trying to be cool.

Good point I guess lol. I guess I'll just leave my bumper lights as is.
