But where would I get them.
The only place you can get them is at the dealership or you can try sites like hondapartsnow.com

Have you also seen Morimoto’s full LED headlights? $750 for the set.

At the dealership & most honda parts websites it’s well over $1000 for a set of OEM LED headlights

2020 Sport Hatch

I have the 2020 Sport Hatch and just upgraded to LED bulbs in the projector housing. It looks super clean, colour temp matches the DRL's and OEM LED fogs.

I went with the Hikari Eye of Megatron.

Personally i think they are more than sufficient. And unlike the OEM LED headlights on the Touring and Type R, they don't blind people because you can aim them.

Here is a before, after and 50ft from wall distance. Which is the average distance when trailing another car on the highway.

My beams hit the logo on back bumper of most cars. Never above the trunk so you know its not hitting their side or review mirrors.

The OEM LEDs can be aimed, but I agree save some money get some HIDs or LEDs instead. Most aftermarket LED OEM style headlights the quality is hit or miss, from what I read. OEM ones are heavily overpriced. Reason being they knew people would try to upgrade the headlights over to them. Also the shitty this is if a LED bulb burns out on my OEM LED headlights there’s no way to repair it, only option is for me to replace the whole assembly. Which is about $500-600 for the headlight assembly

Wow that’s really stupid. Also a shame I love the look of them. Are there any other good looking aftermarket headlights that won’t break the bank or should I just get new bulbs

Quite honestly if I were to trust an aftermarket brand I would go with the Morimotos but even those break the bank at a little over $900.

you can try messaging Si.kevzter on Instagram about his aftermarket headlight and the quality of those. They’re not exact OEM LED copies but they’re similar. The DRLs look pretty cool IMO. I believe they’re about $600

Is it simply an up and down adjustment for the OEM assembly? I think I saw a video where there is a small screw you tighten or back off to change angle. I did not see that screw on my OEM halogen assembly.

Yeah, it’s a screw for up/down on the LED headlights. It’s on a different location for the halogen headlights because you have 3 different bulbs (Turn signal, high, and low beams). I believe yours is on the lower portion of the headlight for your low beams. Fog lights could also be adjusted as well
