The black ones look pretty good..if somehow you could add a little black to the housing of the euro corners I think it could look pretty sweet

I found a pic of mark's honda accord, looks similar to the chrome projectors offered for our cars, IMO not bad looking on his car..

I think the black ones look OK. I think it's a matter of if they fit well. Like on the Accord pictured below, they don't go with the rest of the stock headlight. And if they don't fit well (like some of the earlier civics I see running around with them) they won't look good at all.

I'm still gonna save for the JDM's.

But, if you get the black ones I don't know how you can match them with the stock corners on the lude.

There is a Yellow Prelude for sale on a used car lot in SCV that has the crome projectors. Looks fugly.
They fit good, line up and everything, but they have no depth. Its hard to explain, ya know how on the OEM lights, the bulbs are set back in the housing, away from the front glass? With the projectors the bulb lenses are right up to the glass.
I just dont like it.

Those black ones look 200% BETTER than the chrome ones.. but will still not find their way onto my car.

i believe MatriX and such companies make these projector lights.... some even have JDM look-a-like 1-piece lamps for our cars. They look exactly the same but i heard they fit like ****....

they cost the same about used jdm 1-piece lamps......

Totally totally agree. I don't think it's just the bulb, I think it's all the shiny reflector stuff in your headlights. For OEM is set in the back, giving you depth. For the projectors, it looks like those round stickers they put on headlights to pretend to be projectors. Only they are projectors.
