Is there a reason why no CL on this site has these projector headlights. I know Black ack spent almost a grand or so on all his, why not buy these? Do you guys think they look to cheap?

i personally think they look cheap

 

i'd buy them if they fit.

 

Oh, they do not fit?

 

black's coming

i believe you'll spend just as much $$$ making those projector's fit as those are not a striaght swap. not to mention the fact that those projectors are no where near as good as tsx/audi or other OEM projector lenses.............

 

no they wont fit, or i would have been all over the black housed ones a long time ago.

 

oh, i was under the impression they would fit because our headlights say honda on them. I made the assumption they were accord headlights.

 

our car's are of the accord platform and all parts were made by honda manfacturing corp.

so while alot of parts are interchangable with accords some parts were made by honda specifically for the acura cl.

 

No way, they don't fit, they're not even close. I parked an accord side by side with my CL and have stared at 100's of sets of accord headlights and they're a similar shape but NOWHERE near the same. You have to cut the fenders and/or bumper. Nice try

 

what kind of alterations are we talking about if one needs to install these can any one give any insight...I mean do we have to cut the top frame of juts slight alteration to the front bumper....I mean I have been look for some kind of headlight unit that would fit my 98 2.3cl but there is not after market that would fit and the aftermarket OEM's which is basically made by "DEPO" are like $300/pair that is steep. If these could be fit by littlebit of alteration than we all can have some nice set of headlights.

:Jatt:

 

I don't think it's a little, there'd be some hardcore work involved. You would need to cut and repaint the fenders, shave parts of the hood and possibly parts of the bumper. These are one thing that the CL and accord have that's way different, come to think of it every body panel and exterior part are different

But hey, if you wanna start hacking up your front end to make a cheap ass pair of headlights fit, go right ahead, But also note that those are only 9006 stock headlight replacement projectors, so you won't get real output out of them anyway. You need a d2s projector like I have to use HID bulbs that are designed to output light through a projector setup.

 

HI 97BlackAckCL, thankx for the input man...all i need a replacement set of heamlights as Mine are foged up and I would like them to be crystal so that I can get the maximum throw of the HID's that I installed. But some intensity of the throw of light beam is lost due to the foggyness of the headlight unit. Do you know of a place that would sell cheap headlight units for our cars......even if it stock looking I am fine but I want them to be new and crystal as I plan to install the clear shield film on them so that they do not get damaged by the elements.......

They make kits to clean your headlights, or you can just get some really fine sandpaper, and wet sand your headlights and then buff them out, they'll come out like brand new. Thats what I did with my set, when I purchased my car, my headlights were beyond yellow....and now they crystal clear..

but if you looking for a new set...check junk yards...

 

thankx for the input problamz, what i did was use plastics, it is some kind of special headlight lens cleaner that i picked up from pepboys applied itand then buffed it of using a buffer. It came out pretty clean but if your method will make it even cleaner then I woudn't mind giving it a shot.....what grit rating sand paper did you use???

 

I forget what grit it was, I used the supplies at my detail department, I don't remember what grit I used. If I make it down to detail today, I will ask for you. I'm sort of banned from down there, because they allow employees to come and wash their cars occasionally and not get charged, I wash my car EVERYDAY..

 

Just sand them down, use like 2000 grit

 

oh man i got all excited when i saw these on ebay like a month and a half ago. the black housed ones are sweet. but like blackack said, they dont fit, trust me you dont want to learn the hard way.


anyway im doin my the way ack did his. it took me a month to be able to build up the courage to even cut the headlight housing. i got one done and i dont even wanna do the other one. hahah

 

those ebay projectors look nasty and tacky as hell

I suppose they'd be a bit more 'bearable' if they had some sort of 'oem ish' corner light reflector...but I've still yet to see even a 5th gen accord that looks decent with those.

 

Or if they fit our damn car

 

^ word

 

Fixed

 

oh my lord yes. some MAD coaching. bro i printed out the whole PM that we had and i had the papers next to me. haha. thanks much brudda

 

Nice at least someone grew the balls to do it.

 

i wish i had special powers where i can just point to my car and all the mods possible just appear magically.

 

Don't we all, I wish I could point to all the parts I already have bought and make them magically appear even
