96-98 Civic Black headlights

[SRLNCLT]

K, I just put a set of projectors on my Civic and they didn't fit right. There was a pretty big gap on the bottom between the light and the bumper. So I'm not gonna use those. Where can I get some oem style black heads. I know about the whole DIY thing and I've already done it. The problem with mine are the on the top in the middle, the plastic is starting to oxidize/peel off so they are starting to look like crap. So thats why I want to buy a totally new set of headlights. But I don't want them to turn out the same as the projectors. Anyone have luck buying them on ebay from anyone on there? Has anyone had headlights that haven't fit and just look nasty?
thanks

I noticed that mine are doing that a little right now but figured heck with it lol. The past set of lights I bought on ebay turned out to be APC junk but depending on what you want I'm sure you could pick up a set of good lights. Just watch what you buy though.......... I have seen quite a few of the JDM factory headlights for sale on there.

How hard is it to take the headlights out.
Also, do you see alot better at night?

You have to remove the front bumper, other than that its not too complicated.

From what I've heard if you get projectors and some good lights (i.e Sylvania Silverstars) then you'll notice a difference. But again no personal experience with that.

taking off the front bumper takes me no time now. Maybe 5mins if I get lazy. I bought a set off ebay and so far so good. The fitment was very good too.

I had 4different projectors,
1st was gen 1 projector no name
2nd was singel angel eye projector
3rd TYC projectors
4th retro fitted AUDI A6 projectors with HID

1st projectors were really good, light out put was good but not as good as my stock H4's i used some hyper whites on the projectors.
2nd one i didn't like it, it was really weak and angel eyes were weak too
3rd TYC i think was the best projectors i had with regular bulbs, then i switched to Silverstars and it really helped
4th once you got HID you'll never go back to stock or "hyper white" bulbs..

if you have money i'll go HID if not TYC with Silverstar
