Default 98-02 Honda Accord Projector Headlights

Looks like it's time to replace my headlights (oxidation inside & outside the housing not to mention I got moisture inside the housing)

I'm looking for projector headlights with black housing, but W/O the halo rings

I looked on eBay found a lot of projector headlight but most of them comes with halo rings....
Does anybody have any suggestions where I can find projector headlights black housing without the halo rings?

Not to mention it must be HIDs compatible.

Thanks

I was thinking of black housing but I don't want the HIDs to shine everywhere & blind the **** out of ppl (like I care, I just don't want to get pulled over), whereas the projector have a nice cut off line for HIDs

Not quite sure which one is the JDM headlights

i know what you're sayin about blindin ppl with the blackhoused but you're gonna blind the **** out of ppl with poorly made ebay projectors too. I'd go with the blackhoused lights with the amber strip to keep 5-0 from pullin me over.

Yea, the eBay projectors look nice & all....but then again THEY'RE EBAY BRAND
& best way is to retrofit BMW projectors perhaps o.O"
but I'm not planning to keep my car that long so I'm gonna stick with the old fashion reflectors

Hahaha.....damn p*gs (would you like to buy a vowel) lol
Why would they pull me over without the amber strip???
The one with amber strip looks whack (well kind of....its semi-JDM) lol


Any suggestions for a good deal on black housing headlight?
I know eBay brand is fine, they're just reflectors nothing special.

Good deal? Well a good deal is different for everyone. Since u say you're not stayin with the car a long time, I wouldn't even buy new headlights. If you are, then just get ebay blackhoused lights. However, there's no guarantee that moisture won't get in them since they're mostly poorly made. When I get my blackhoused lights, they're going to be from TAS Auto because they sell the well-made stuff. Here's a link if you want to check them out.

http://www.tasauto.com/Product/images/849802.jpg, they're $99.95 plus shipping.

Do you have HIDs on your black housing? If so, how does it look?

Thanks

I actually don't have blackhoused lights yet. My friend has them and they look good in blackhoused headlights because since they are darker, the light doesn't have such a noticeable glare like the OEM clear lights.
