the only good projectors are the one for the 6th gen. I had projectors in my 5th gen and they were good for the first month only. i went back to stock is so much better n every way. like everyone said, JDM is the way to go and they are pretty and combine with 6000k hid are perfect.

mod your OEM housings, get some black housing headlights, or TYC projectors. all other projectors are crap, the light output sucks on them.

everything on ebay says JDM these days... :ghey:

if you're going to get aftermarket lights, get depo black housing or TYC ONLY. never buy anything made by APC, and don't waste your money with any of the others. they're ugly, poor quality, and most people who use them have bad things to say.

if the pictures are correct, they aren't 1-piece. at that price, they are not JDM stanleys (authentic JDM headlights), they are most likely depos, which are JDM replicas. i dunno if depos are DOT approved, either..

and yes, they are just like your OEM headlights, but black housing. that's the point. trust me, they look way better than stock

probably doesn't exist. you'll just have to find something sorta similar.

i'm not sure if this is accurate, but with 1-piece headlights you might have to remove the whole headlight to change the corner bulbs...

All after market projectors are crap. I had 3 different type of projectors on my 96 accord. All 3 were crap. You need to look at doing a retro. Go to www.HIDplanet.com or www.V6performance.net to get more info about doing retros. That is basiicaly when you take the projectors from another car, like an S2000 and "Retro Fit" them into another cars housing. check out this link

http://www.v6performance.net/forums/showthread.php?

I have 04 Accord V6 6 speed. I am going to have q45 projectors retro into my housing. I am also thinking of having S2000 pro's in the brights. Now retros will cost you but there is realy no better way to go. I progect will probably hit $1500. I have 10K hids in my stock housing now. Which isn't a good idea due the the glare but I did that before I found out about the retro thing.
