Check that out guys, looks pretty sick. I got a spare head light i might do it on that. Although im having problems trying to source a projector light it still looks like an awesome mod. I always liked the head lights from the DC5 Integra's and this comes close imo.

What do you guys think?

Only problem is trying to do a proper Hi/low retrofit unless you don't mind not having hi-beams. Gotta admit though I like retrofits.... still on my "to do" list

[steve88]

err what do you mean by hi-beams? where is the parkers on this one btw.

im very noob to head light mods atm, dont even know wtf a ballast etc. is. doing my research right now

what you can also do, is, one thing i've done, is buy the aftermarket headlights, with the angle eyes, since they have projectors, is take out the projector, modify your new projector with the appropiate fittings so it fits in the same place as the aftermarket one, and that's it, that way you will get the adjustability of the direction of the light + high beam.
and alot less work, but be careful of which projectors you use, as they physically may be too big for it.

but the angel eyes are going for at least $320 for a pair thats too pricey dont you think?

for the time and effort you save, to me is well worth it.
plus it also leaves you your stock headlights just incase.
personally that's what i would do.
it makes life soo much easier, because the base of it is already there, it comes with a harness, it comes with high beams, and you would just have to you make up some brackets to mount the projector, and that's it your done.

or just get fog lights+extra lights to make up for the lack of high beams

E55 projectors seem to be pretty hard to find. and they cost as much as angel eyes if imported lol. i just hate the angel eyes even black imo they're ugly, civics are suited for one big round circle rather than 2
