Civic Projectors -> GOOD ONES

Are there any companys that make an aftermarket headlight assembly for a 99-00 civic that are GOOD? For HID, the current ones I have are **** and I'm looking at getting the Hella Projectors but right now they are backordered. Rather then haveing to retro them in, I'm curious are there any good ones to begin with.

Hey dude... to answer your question, no. I have never heard of anything out there that is of any decent quality as a complete headlight replacement unit. Unfortunately, the show and altezza movements have caused companies to default to producing low quality **** products to satisfy the demands of the ricers... so it looks like it performs, but when you flick on your headlights... you just wanna :cry: I wish I had better news for you....

Yeah, I was looking into buying some but there not the same like the bimmer ones. May look good but the quality isn't great.

Yep, the only route to go! You can also use Halo projectors from any 5 series BMW as well since there is no difference between them and the X5's. They are hight quality Hella projectors.
