headlights

I was looking on ebay at some of the cars and i came across this civic ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...item=600094880 ) and I really liked the headlights. I Cut them out of the picture and took a picture of a tl and pasted it on there and changed the HUE/Saturation using photoshop and it looked pretty nice. I was wondering where i could find headlights like that or where i can get them custom made or even fitted?

I don't like those IMHO...it's made by APC... go figure. If you own a 99-01 TL..you can always get the ones they made for the 94-97 Accord's..and have a body shop do the magic...but be ready to keep the car for a while.

No...but it's the closest size to the TL's...You will need to modify the headlights for sure to make it fit just right.

Guys, you have OEM HID. YOU ARE LUCKY!! Don't waste your money on halogens. If you did, you are definitely just downgrading.

Quite alot I say...and alot of $$$..plus..you'll need to retro fit your HID's to fit back into those aftermarket lights. I say you keep the factory lights.....looks the best IMO...I dunno why you gotta go with those....ehhh....ghetto things (See, I didnt' say rice?? :p :p)

i'm just trying to find an easy way to get rid of the yellow:o . i was looking at some accord headlight casing at an import auto store around here and it did look pretty close. i guess i'll just leave them like they are for now

what i was just thinking about doing is buying the casings off this site and send them to someone to clear them. this way when it is time to sell the car, i can just put the original ones in. they are kinda expensive though how much would you charge me to do it?
