I want some high quality clear front housings for my headlights.

Any input guys?

schmit your look great.


Should I buy some stock ones and take out the amber part or is there a decent set I can get aftermarket.

No projectors, just straight up clear and cyrstal clear glass.

Thanks.

You can buy some aftermarket ones, many people have and seem to be happy with them. I opted for the self-clear route basically to save money, but also to stick with the OEM fitment and quality. Is there a reason you don't want to clear the ones that are on your car?

jschmid, the guy before me already put on clear aftermarkets. Somehow over the past 2 years, the plastic housing has managed to get coulded and can't tell if it's tons of microscratches or just dust inside, but it looks like poo. My light dont' shine thru as purty and it shows up dirty on the inside housing when the lights are on. Also, don't shine in daylight like glass would.



So I need new ones.


Shaggy, I've got a beige leather wheel if you've got a beige center piece. I take paypal too!

If your headlights are clouded its because you drive way fast up peoples asses. Its the dirt and crap sand blasting your lenses. Mine are this way now. Getting new ones won't help unless you get some sort of lens protection like a poly tape film.

Tan interiors can use Ivory leather wheels. (Accord/cl/tl or mdx have them.)

Wow I can't even remember how long ago we wrote this thread.
Mr. Hyde double check that the Acura wood grain wheel isn't just an Accord woodgrain wheel.

Honda doesn't even make the woodgrain wheels it's an aftermarket company. Double check in the back of Car and Driver, many of the wood grain companies sell the exact same wheel at a reduced cost. www.handa-accessories.com sells the Accord Coupe wheel.

Generally, yes, you need to be sure that the holes for the cruise control and (if needed) radio volume controls match. The screw holes may be a different size but you can get them at the hardware store.

My Accord had the welded steel type frame, but I swapped out for the cast aluminum type frame of the TL wheel. Both frames are fine, you just need to source new hardware screws when needed. The main hub shaft bolt is universal and should prove fine in any case.
