Alright so as you all may know I got BMW bi-xenon projectors... they're a projector lense with a cutoff plate that lifts via a motor so they can act as high and low beam lights... I hate the stock lights in the civic... even with spending a REDICULOUS amount on the only highoutput h4h (jdm housings) bulbs I could find it's better but it still sucks... and my windshield is shot too so thta doesn't help any.
ANYWAY... I have to fit these projectors into a headlight housing and then install them.. they're not bolt in parts. Stock headlights housings are my favorite... I don't like any of the aftermarket ones cuz they look kinda cheezy imo... BUT stock headlight housings have a fluted lense which you can not use with projectors otherwise it defeats the purpose ( the flutes in the lense redirect the light so you blind people even on the lowbeam setting)...
SO I have several options for aftermarket lenses...
Number one... I think I'm going to go with these... they're the least flashy.

Bah I stopped listing the others... they're all lame imo.
ALRIGHT so ... here's the thing...
I think I can get away with using number 2's LENSE ONLY... IE put that lense on my stock headlight housing... so I have the city lights from the jdm headlights (although they prob. won't light up the housing right anymore...) and the projectors...
But now I'm thinking that if I do get the blacked out ones then I have a projector low/high AND a reflector high beam...
Which is good since you can't flash your highs with HID's... Hmmmm... Yeah I think I'm doing that...
Opinions still welcome. LOL
