Did you read where I wrote this like 3 posts up???

Those are so bad they should be illegal to sell.

They are 100% crap and I wish I did not own them.

I will say the high beams in them are great, I try to drive at night using the high beams as much as possible.

If you buy those you are un-smart as you have been warned, they are junk and can likely cause you to wreck your car or hurt someone.

BTW I have HIDs in the low beams and still cannot see.

As far as the TYC ones, just look it up on google. they have a website but I don't think you'll find them there.. here's a few links

98-02 Honda Accord Projector Headlights - Chrome by TYC :: Accord :: Honda :: Lighting - Projector Headlights :: Dash Z Racing

http://www.dashzracing.com/98-02-hon...0-6103-45.html

One is black housed, the other is chrome..

if not, 6thgenaccord.com, sign up, check their for sale/trade section and you'll find tons of retrofits..

Yea, I'm not getting it. I was just looking at it in before but after I read this forum I'm going to buy the TYC one. Thanks for letting me know

Thanks! I think I'm going to get the black one. Do you know if I will need to buy HID or does this come with it?

I am pretty sure they come with regular halogens, not HIDs.. If you want the HIDs, you'll probably have to buy them separately..

Make sure you report back how crappy the TYC's are after you spend $165 for them and take off your bumper to install them.

Those are the same crap as the other ones, no different in quality.

I would gladly bet you $50 that you will see less of the road with your new headlights then you saw with the factory ones.

The only thing to do is what K_H_A showed which is pull apart your factory headlights and modify them.

You are making a mistake.

Look how nice the modified factory ones look (and they cost $0 cause you already own them)

I do like how they look, but the only problem is I know nothing about modding or anything that's related about taking car parts apart. Is there any at all that's already made that I could buy? Anything where I don't have to mod? After I buy it, I was going to bring it to a friend to have him install it since he works at auto shop but I'm sure he wouldn't know how to modify it....
