Default Projector headlight quality brands.

Hi i have a 2001 civic ex sedan and i was wondering what a good brand of black halos would be. also are they as good as OEM lights as far as output? and how hard are they to install/wire? I have heard they are hard to aim, but is that just the case for the ebay ones. Lastly, do you have to buy new bulbs or anything like that?

Generally the TYC units have the better projectors on the market as well as they are fully legal (with all the proper yellow reflectors). Most units are plug n play and the wiring of the halo's all depends on what you want them to do (most just wire them to the running light feet to the turn bulb and call it good). Most also come with new high and low beams and most use the oe bulbs and bulb sockets for the turn lights.

Aiming them is only a pain depending on what's behind your headlight and how much room you have to get in there.......

e-bay ones can be up and down, i have had mine for 2 summers now and havent had a problem, other people have problems as soon as they get them...i also got light balbs with mine, amazing ones..other people dont get them, i guess its all about the company you buy from

ya they were from the states, no aftermarket parts shops in canada on e-bay..but it wasent because they are from the states, it was just because they keeped on sending me e-mails saying that they were "missing parts" and there was going to be a delay, and they delayed it for about a month..then i was getting mad and sending them pissy e-mails so they sead i can wate or get my money back, so a couple days before i was going to say i want my money back..i got them in the mail

I don't have any experience with this, but I have heard that the TYC projectors are the best ones.

My 7th gen has TYC projectors... he's right, the halos will give out after a while, but I have HIDs and they are great
