:wave: Hi guys, I'ma newbie here and at just starting to modify my car for the first time. I gotta silver 2002 accord ex v6 4dr. and I wanted to start off with the headlights but I don't know where to start to pick a decent pair out. I wanted the dual halo [angel eye] projectors & not sure of chrome or black housing..or even if those headlights would look okie on my car..

So any advice or suggestions would help, thanks! :wavebye:

eh, I think personally projectors would look cheesy on an Accord. What about these?

From my experience I would not recommend aftermarket headlights unless you spend a lot of money on really nice ones (and i'm not even sure about them). I got a pair of the halos (angel eye i think they were) for my fiance's civic 3 or 4 years ago. They looked pretty hot, but after about a year the plastic (i guess they use cheapy stuff) looked all stressed out (there are miniature cracks all over them). Also, apparently when the halos burn out you cant replace them. Also, we had to pay a few hundred dollars and it was hard to find a place to do it when we had them put in in the first place (the electrical system had to be modified). Also, they used foglights instead of actual headlight bulbs (found that out later) so they are not bright enough in my opinion. Now one of the foglight bulbs has burned out and its impossible to get to. We're thinking about just putting the OEM ones back in (which will cost more money). Maybe I was dumb and bought inexpensive ones, but you should think about all these things before you buy a pair......
