Projectors Or Black Housing?

[U8dust]

Well when I bought the car it had the headlights as they are now. But now that I got my hood, rims, etc... Im thinking they might look better if i get:

Black Projectors

Carbon Fiber Projectors

Just paint the red black in the light housing

Or leave them as is

Im Trying to go all show for now so what would be the best path to go? Any help would be great thanks.

well you have to remember two things.

1. you have 95-96 style headlights so upgrading to projectors or stock 97-99 lights well cause a gap in your front bumper by the headlights.

2. projectors are not as bright as stock.

just keep those in mind.
later

My projectors are as bright as my stock lights. I think black housing projectors would match your car best. I've never really seen the CF ones tho....

I also like the red/black combo.

Is that true? I'm not kidding, I dunno the answer. Is it better then to get clear housings with high intensity bulbs? I have a black car and I always thought that a chrome or CF Projector would be better and better looking. Seems like it's only better looking from what you said. I will eventually get the 97-99 headlights, because I want to get the Henshin BuddyClub2 body kit for my ride. What do you suggest then?

L8ER!

If you get projectors and HID's you will be fine.

Projectors on there own have been known to be less bright than the OEM headlights.

Thanks! OK then! Here's an improvised poll for all of you!

What is better looking on a black car:

1) Chrome projos w/ HIDs?
2) CF projos w/ HIDs? (or black painted)

I think chrome would definitely come out more strongly because of my black paint and it would enhance the aggressive look of it, like a beast staring at you thinking "You're my next meal...Honda..."

L8ER!

i got a pair of black progectors, yours for 150, they are the kind with the single projector...

the fact is though most projectors are not as bright as stock becasue they use a cheep pes fog progector... with a cheapo cut reflector... and thust not a large beam patter... but with hids they would be cool... i am just painting mine and evenetualy gettign hids... mmm12000 kelvin ughgughh

actually the more i look at it, i dont really think it looks that bad with the red. but i think it'll look better with the black.
