Default Where are the aftermarket headlights?

Had this car for over a year.... good lord it's taking forever to get stuff out.

I bought the AEM intake a year ago too and just got a refund from the dealer since they still have to ETA..

This crap is ____ing me off...

I cant imagine what a goodlooking headlight would look like. Im sure everything will look like crap. Ill stick with stock headlight housing and get s2k hids and CC angel eyes.

I can imagine what a good looking headlight would look like - a projector replacement for our reflector and everything else exactly the same - it's not too much to ask. I know the bB was out for a while in japan first, but they have a ton of stuff like this.

I think the stock headlights are fine, but what I would like to see are some more tail light options. Specifically a stock tail light with clear plastic like on the IS300.

Um... Altezza lights? Yeah... count me out for that. Our tail lights are fine. Our headlights are basically fine (IMO) except for the fact that if they had projectors you could much more easily add HID. The optional fogs, however, are repulsive.

I hate Altezza lights... Civis, Accords, and expecially Altimas ruined that for everyone.

As for the headlights... how about some projector headlights? How about some headlights with angel-eyes built into them? Good lord, something!

Yes, because a fast car is more practical than looks. I see the logic in showing how big your bolt on **** is.

Fast cars are fun, but it's lame to rag on appearance mods in general.

I wasnt rankin on makin your car look better....
and I have no speed mods on my car. I figured I throw it in for good measure.
Face it. Because of civics ( and I sold mine... I have experience ) the market is flooded with low quality. terribly desiged ( ie. lets put 5 lights b/c the stock used five and we dont know what to do with the sockets or we dont care wat the final product looks like... ) crap.
Granted we all want our cars to look good... WE need to get creative, try new things... the way it was with civics 12-15 yrs ago. ANY mod was kool b/c it was unique.
Not some $9.99 shi(t) can of ebay.
I
M
O

thats all.
wait..... be patient. If I can say one thing. Id rather wait for good stuff than have the market turn into the same civic croud. Ill sell my tC in a heartbeat.

Oh, ok. I took what you were saying as spend money on speed because looks are not important.

Don't let what other's do to your make/model get to you. Someone is always going to do something you don't agree with. Just gotta live with it.

Prototype, who said anything about some cheap ___ ebay lights?

I don't but cheap ****.. trust me.

I have done a few, worth-while performance mods already.

All I want to do is to improve the looks a little and of course get the rattling to stop, but that's another topic...

I'm not waiting too much longer... I've been waiting for over a year, and that's pretty patient.

Somebody just needs to make them at a resonable price.

In my honest opinion I dont think we will ever see any nicely done projector lamps that can be bought from a company . It looks like it will be hidretro and clearcorners witha few members doing the retro fits in their spare time , Hell as much as I hate to say it i am surprised APC hasnt jumped all over the tC yet
