Projection headlights

Hey guys, just bought a 2000 si... and im looking to throw in projector headlights. I found TYC black projectors for around 130 bux and was wondering what else i needed in order to convert to projection headlights.

Retrofit > Projector headlights IMO

Much cleaner look and hella better quality if done right.

Have you ever "googled" anything yo? A retrofit is the whole custom process of refitting a projector beam headlight with or without HID's stock, into a different headlamp with standard halogens bulbs? Follow me?

This is a good site:
Home - CustomLightz - The HID Retrofit Specialist

EK Civic retrofit(s)
Civic/Del Sol - CustomLightz - The HID Retrofit Specialist

If that doesnt answer your question(s), pm me.

As nice as that is, i dont have the time to start cutting apart my headlights and manufacturing my own. I use my car as a DD and cant afford to be without headlights or even a car in case I mess something up. Unless you know of a place where I can get them pre-built or a better projector housing.

Haha. I hear you man. Thats exactly why I have'nt done mine yet.



On that website you can send in your headlights and they will retrofit them for you, but it probably wont be cheap even with the cheapest setup. If you think about it, getting aftermarket projectors might be your best bet.
If you do get some, just make sure the seals all around the headlight are good. Many of them are known for a couple months of lighting and then major condensation and eventually looking like boo boo.

I had some projectors on my old EG. (Ahhh the good ole days...) I resealed all around the headlight with silicone and never had condensation problems for the 3 years I had the car.

These were on the car when I bought it. The other lense was cracked so...

I spent an unnecessary $275 on these....angel eyes ftl.
