i think they look awsome but the black housing kinda ruins it for me i think.

If only ur car was white lol.

very nice I like it!!

That's a sweet looking setup. That's what I had planned too. Pretty good price - people were asking $1000 before for their retrofits. What kind of projectors did you get?

Black housing will help big time with glare. The stock housings are brutal for glare.

I know and im using valeos and i figure after shipping it cost me just over 750cdn i just got my bolts in from honda so now i can finish installing them hopefully if i dont lose these ones as well

oh and i insured them and purolator broke the top clip off and they are gonna reimburse me 200$ :D all i did was JB weld it and placced and piece of fiberglass over and redrilled the wholes so shes all good again

Drachir
Those top clips ALWAYS break. I haven't seen a set of them without broken clips yet.

why would you? if you have projectors they serve no purpose.

there's a difference between stock lights and projectors.

stock relies on reflection, which is why we have a reflective housing which casts the light.

projections, rely on projection which is done alone by the projector unit which doesn't require reflection from a housing.

the only trouble you may have in canada is a lack of DRL. without a driving light you can get ticketed.. and most driving lights rely on a reflective surface. I don't think people who coat their housings have an effective daytime running light anymore..
