Halo + LED Headlight Assembly

Hey all, has anyone ever seen these installed on any of our cars? If so any pictures -- curious to see how the LED looks, and if they're Christmas tree-like like all of the other aftermarket crud on the road!

no, but they were installed on driveanaccord.net and the quality is piss poor

I mean, it works and it is not going to fall apart, but the LEDs are weksos, dim and barely noticeable, and the quality of the projectors is awful

While the TSX may not be the most expensivest car in the market, it has some damn fine projectors and the philips oem HIDs are also excellent, I would not want want to downgrade.

pretty sure if you searched up the forums, you could find threads regarding these. to save you the trouble, those headlights will and do suck. at least the ebay ones do...no opinion on the dashzracing ones but they look awfully similar to the ebay ones...take it with a grain of salt...

please though, don't buy these...they will cheapen your car to the point where you will get laughed at by other cu2 owners on the boards and on the road. if you MUST led and halo your headlights, go do it a professional retrofitter or custom headlight place.

I mean they look like they could be good, but you were right to check first

If you ever decide to do anything custom let us know well steer you in the right direction

Yeah these headlights will get you a huge cyber "WANTED" stamped on your forhead. Everyone from me, ed, and killerg will come after you telling you how stupid they look to Ceb coming after you and telling you how they'll void your warranty.

Avoid like the plague.

In addition to being crappy quality, these lighting units are not legal for sale or use in the US or Canada - regardless of the seller's claim that they are SAE/DOT approved.

How do I know?

Neither SAE nor DOT approves products and DOT has never found an aftermarket lighting housing that meets the requirements set forth in FMVSS 108.
