i don't understand how changing the headlights consider ricing it up?.. i got HID's in them.. and since my headlights are reflectors.. so if it get projectors put in, then hid's will look alot better....

Useless and possibly dangerous modification on a Japanese econobox for cosmetic reasons? Sounds like rice to me.

Are you looking for a complete headlight assembly that has projectors on them? If you are, any ebay item will do because they're pretty much all crap. they may look cool with the halo's and stuff but still.

If you are looking for projectors to do a retrofit, go with TSX/TL projectors cuz they're one of the best and they're relatively cheap.

With HIDs

With HIDs, it doesn't matter if you are with reflectors or aftermarket projectors, they will look crap period. The only way to make your HID look good is to get a aftermarket projector lens then do a retrofit right away with either TSX or BMW projectors. ONLY projectors that are designed for HIDs will make the light better.

can you recommend any shops that can do the retrofit for my civic? and i have no idea how to go on about moddding.. thats why i am here asking you guys for help... but your comments about "ricing" and crap like that will prevent from others asking for help....

here is what you can expect with ebay projector lights: http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/lighting-h-i-d-s-neon/16683-buyer-alert-4dr-jdm-projectors.html

this set of headlights was only able to put light 15ft infront of the car!

www.customlightz.com will do retrofitss. u will have to ship them a set of headlights first tho.

i don't know any canadian places that do it.

www.hidplanet.com if u want to learn

Just so you know, if you already have HIDs for reflectors, the type of HID bulbs might be different for reflectors and projectors. The difference being in there focal length.

This is just info for you to keep in mind and make sure of, because with the same HID bulbs may look like crap in the projectors you get.
