Right, so I'm buying my new headlights today (want to install them this weekend), and I have narrowed it down to two auctions:

Black Housing
Clear Housing

Now I just can't decide which one I prefer, and am looking for some opinions that you think would look good on my car:[attachment=0:2uhk5q9l]car.jpg[/attachment:2uhk5q9l]
Use the poll to vote, please look at the photo of the car first!

Prefer the black housing, the light lenses are more pronounced

 

[slobbadan]

black housing mate, chrome just seems chavvy to me mate, would look better on a saxo! lol

 

[Alec]

I think I'm going to go for the black housing. The clear (chrome) looks a bit chavvy, and they are far more expensive.

*buys black housed headlights*

Think i prefure the stock ones 0_o i will reserve judgement until you got them on tho

 

[Alec]

I saw some back-housed stock ones too, but decided angel-eyes FTW

 

[slobbadan]

yeh +1 on the angel eyes mate, shame they only do sh***y ones for my car, have black clips around, but hopefully making my own at some point!

 

[shepps]

The black ones look so much better! Good call son

 

[nickyboy]

Piss on the fire time...are those lights LHD aka MOT failures and oncoming traffic blinders?

 

[slobbadan]

possibly! does state euro lights so u would need the converters but would look like sh*t on the car!

 

[Alec]

I've emailed the seller asking, but even if they aren't road legal, I'll just swap them back at MOT time. Just like gotta swap back the old cat bypass pipe

 

[slobbadan]

didnt realise yours was a de-cat?

 

[Alec]

Yup, very recent. Bought the bypass pipe:

Didnt catch this thread until after the auction.. nice work, you made the right decision.

but you`ll be blinding oncoming traffic, including the coppers, and a nice crisp producer will be presented to you. Also possible £30 fineage

 

[Alec]

What makes you say they aren't road legal anyway? Besides, I can adjust the height of my beams.

 

[Skinny]

Not at all. if you aim them properly with the adjusters, they are fine. Ive had them for my car from the same company, great lights, even had my car taken to the cop shop and checked them before i fitted them, no problems.

i have no doubt they can be adjusted, but if u have euro lights, the hight of them will be irrelevant, if u get close enough u will be blinding people as it would be like looking at your own headlights head on!

I had USDM headlights on a prelude and they failed the MOT because they shine the light into oncoming traffic, so obviously illegal

 

[Alec]

Fair enough. I'll wait to see what the seller says. I can always convert them.
