Default Projector Headlights Opinions

I just got my accord and looking to make a few modifications on it.
I've already changed the deck and looking to do the speakers soon.
The headlights are next but there are so many different ones to choose from and i'm not quite sure which ones I should go with or are good...

Here's a picture of my car


Here are a few I found off ebay

1998 2002 Honda Accord 2 4DR "Glossy Pearl Black" LED Halo Projector Head Light | eBay

JDM Halo LED Projector Head Light w Extra Parking Black | eBay

98 99 00 01 02 Honda Accord LED Projector Headlight HID | eBay

98 02 Honda Accord Projector Headlights 6000K HID Smoke | eBay

Chrome Halo LED Projector Head Light Mesh Hood Grill Grille Blk 1998 2002 Accord | eBay

98 02 Accord 2 4DR Dual Halo Projector Headlights Lights Lamps Left Right Pair | eBay

Blk Halo Projector Head Lights Signal Amber V2 Grill Grille 98 02 Accord 2D 2dr | eBay

A friend of mine also suggested just switching the low beam to tsx projectors and adding in HIDs what do you guys think about that?

I have a set of the second ones installed on my Honda. I really like the look but the light output is a little weak.

What your friend suggested is known as "retro fitting". When you take the projectors from another car such as a TSX and put them in your factory housings.

Thats my personal favorite as it looks the best and offers the best light output. But it is also the most work and probably the most expensive.

Retrofit all the way. Use Morimoto Mini H1 projectors......they are around $120 brand new or so, and are almost plug 'n play. Way better light output than the eBay projectors by a londgshot.

I was gonna make a thread about those eBay projectors asking if anyone had purchased a set and how the level of quality was with them. Good thing I looked around first! I'm planning on buying some halos due to some damage to my stock headlights. From what I see on here the light output is fairly poor on the eBay halos? What if they have 1000k HIDs installed in them? I love the look of the halos but would hate to constantly wonder if my bulbs were burnt out cuz the light output is so low haha. So who has a set and what kind of bulbs do you use and how do you like em?

Ps your car looks great dbang! Expect a friend request from me. I look forward to sharing info with a fellow 6th gen enthusiast with the same ideas for mods. Maybe we can help each other out. Make sure to take pics so we know how the build is going!

I just bought a set on eBay tonight for 165$ w/ free shipping. They include 2 HID kits as well so soon I'll be able to give my 2 cents on their light output!

Take some night shots. I'd love to see how they compare to the Morimotos. Here are some shot's of the Morimotos from my friend's car:








High beams:




From what I've researched, these are just as good or better than most OEM projectors.
