Can I ask where your getting them from and how much?
recently got a 98 accord and wouldnt mind these if they aint to pricey.

The only problem with using those lights is the beam pattern. Since USA car are LHD the beam will rise on the right side instead of the left. This will cause on-coming cars to flash their lights on you as they think ur on hi beams. Below is a pic of what i mean. It may seem not much but if your distance away it make a huge different.

I always buy my body kits and lights from there. But generally just do abit of googling and you can find some aussie sites too!

Yeah my friend got aftermarket lights for his euro and they shine so hard and blind you, always looks like highbeams!! honda dealers "fixed" it for him but didnt make it look different at all, and cops didnt seem to mind unless its coloured.

the dealer probably try lowering the beam by turning the alignment bolt/screw. Try looking for a brand called tyc. i know their projector lense are good quality as some others can decrease the light output. Price is a bit pricy but look from ebay usa and see if they can send overseas.

With some of the halo rings you can connect them to a switch so you can turn it on& off. but most ppl that install them just power them using the parker light, so when parker on = halo on

Not legal.

There are prescribed colours that a car may emit from the exterior from the vehicle.

In this instance the example is blue. All blue lights are reserved for emergency vehicles only.

If the example were to change to green; the law remains the same. There are a set of prescribed colours.

At a basic level, the Australian Road Rules at Part 13, Division 1, Regulation 219 states that a driver must not use an external light that will dazzle another road user.........that in itself would prevent the use of a light similar to those described above..........give me a few days when I get back to work on Monday and I can research it more..........:)
