Buying Projector Headlights..

Post by TrEble »

I was looking on ebay to just buy some 01 civic projectors and modify them myself using a guide... The price seems a little cheap so im wondering if anybody has ever bought them off ebay and if they are good quality... If not i im just wondering where i could buy them

Want to have em in before summer :D

yeah theres a guy here who did a write up, thyats how i did mine. Usually takes me like 3 days to make them. Good things about them..they are BRIGHT AS HECK and look pimp..some have purple shading to it (on the lens) some dont. Downsidfe is that if you wish to remail legal (in the us) you need to paint the side deflectors orange. UI have byet to get pupped over. Also aiming them is a pain, i usually just take them out when i aim them. Other than that its a good deal . People wont even think your car is an mx3. I am the only mx3 in my city to have these projectors and everyone thinks its an integra or an alien car... ew neon..

I didn't go that way(civic projecters) i made my own this is how they turn out. I did a twin angeleye setup on one of my MX-3's top pic. On the sec. pic i did a single angelleye and it looked nice but i like the twin angeleyes better. just an idea i had.
