92 Legend Coupe Projector Headlights?

Hey all,
Wondering if anyone knows of a place to order something like those Halo HID Projector Headlights you can get off eBay, not just the light bulbs but the whole head lamp?. I can't find the head lamps for a 92 Legend but I can find lots for a 92 Honda Accord, obviously because the Accord is a more popular car and the Legend is rare.

I just want some brighter lights pretty much, that also look cooler. The distance that my stock headlights can go on the road is bare, and not as nice as a newer car's lights. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There are no aftermarket headlights for our cars. What you can do is have yours retrofitted. Stay the hell away from those eBay projectors. They may look cool, there output is worse than stock!

If you want some okay projectors go with with a Morimoto mini H1. Then you can add Morimoto CCFL's or XB-Led rings which is 3xs brighter than CCFL and more reliable. If you want a amazing projector look into FXR's or another OEM projector.

Sounds cool for sure, though I am guessing that these "retrofitted" lights require manual installation into the stock headlamps?.

Yes, you would have to bake your headlights open to install. I suggest buying a extra pair from the JY. That way you can take your time, more importantly still be able to use your car doing the process.

That makes sense, they are expensive even used but I could just re-sell the originals I guess. Thanks for the tip and good idea, this will be something to plan for the near future.

Have you done this to your car?.

I'm still not sure what projectors I want to go with. I've had three different kinds so far. Lol
Spare headlights are cheap man, go to a pick n pull.

Well basically I would be putting HID's into the projectors, right?.

I have to take a look around possibly, though my Legend will be sitting for awhile (possibly until September this year) so I think I might just do all the work during the time it's sitting.

Nobody makes HID headlights for our cars. The only thing you can do is buy OEM replicas. Which is pointless.

the jdm headlights i have for my were less that 100 for both, i think the junkyard wants 30 a piece for them. i was going to put quad projectors in them , bi xenon for the low and high and lows for the foglights. it would kinda look like the infinity j30 headlight i think .
