Projectors uses a special bulbs don't they? I know that HID has D2R for reflectors and D2S for projectors, maybe you need something like the D2S type bulbs. Not sure, could be wrong. I was thinking of getting angel eyes also, please post solutions, if you guys have fix the problem.

Civic projectors look cool...

But the cast of the light is greatly reduced...

So..

Projectors=Cool=Less light

OEM=Not So Cool=More light

:thumbup:

Honda doesn't spend millions on light R&D for nothing...there is a reason OEM parts cost so much damn money...they are superior in many ways to aftermarket junk like TYC and APC etc. I'd never give up my OEM lighting, and when I was told that it was ghetto to take apart my OEM to do black housings...I just :richslap: and went about my business. So now I have OEM light quality and black housings w/o any orange. :nods: But I wanna put in orange bulbs in the front so at night it's real stealthy, cause 4 years of clear signals is enough for me.

I thought Projectors give better lighting because it ****** the light pattern more. What is wrong with the light pattern, can someone post some pics?

Not relating to topic - but how come I am not getting notifications on posts. I don't know that you guys have posted until now that I checked.
