Hi guys, I'm planning to get a civic touring in the upcoming days and I need some reassurance that the led headlights are better than the projectors. I am not a big fan of stock halogen housings and really love that magnifying glass that protector beams have. Going for the touring I feel like I will be getting the same cheap looking reflective housing with a light in the center. Acuras actually put glass magnifiers in front of their LEDs right?

They are completely different reflectors.

The LEDS are super bright and focused at night. I love them

My first experience with LED lighting. Love it, really surprised at the nice white illumination.

I'm starting to feel better about it. I like having good visibility. I'm coming from an autobahn Gti MK6. After test driving the ex-l I was in love.

The halogen projectors are crap. I have an LX. I put in led lights in the projectors and they are bright but don't shine quite as far down the road as I would like but I'm used to driving a half ton as well.

I think you need HID projectors to properly tighten the beams?

The light is spread out quiet a bit just doesn't have the distance. I was going to try out hid's but can't afford it right now

I bought the Xenondepot ones that a lot of guys here have bought. I just ended up aiming my lights up a bit and it's fairly close to where I want it now
