    Those would look interesting I think. I would want to see them on a 3rd gen though.

    Although it is an interesting idea, I will have to agree with you. My friend wasted his money on some of those on his civic... they don't even fully light up, it looks pretty lame.

    I like the diamond ones alot better... like the boys said....
    I'd go with these ones

    from this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...949290258&rd=1
    or this one
    from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...949287645&rd=1
    I'd rather pay the extra money than risk getting screwed going for the cheap ones. these two sellers seem to have good user ratings and they'll ship to me up here in Canada.
    Otherwise I'm looking at ~200 for something like these. Anybody here in Canada have any experience bringing these thru the border?

    at the bottom of both sets of lights, below the actual light itself there looks like there is some sort of blue led light or something. I wonder what that is?

    yes those little bulbs are "city lights". i wonder why they always sell the conversion headlights with those blue bulbs, even with higher wattage they are dim as shit.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    theyare city lights but they are illegal to run around with them on. they are just for show. i had tem and they suck. they leak water like a siv and no matter how much silicone you pile up on the outside they still leak! i got rid of them and went back to the sealed beam. i reccomend that if you get the diamond cut lights that you buy a higher wattage bulb than what comes with them. they are really dull if you dont.

    I'm not sure where you are coming from with the wattage.

    Our stock wiring harness is meant for 55w/60w bulbs. Getting a larger wattage bulb doesnt necessary mean that the light will be brighter. It will create a lot more heat in the wiring harness and maybe even result in melting them. The best idea is to get a good pair of brand name nonblue bulbs for your car. The best output I've seen so far for an H4 bulb is the Raybrig white sonic but those go for $80/pair so it's not exactly the best deal unless you really want the best light output. http://store.racinglab.com/raywhitsonh4.html here is the link anyway.The best bang for buck is silverstars that can run you anywhere from $30-40 for a pair. I have a set of silverstars on my car and I am happy with the light output. There isn't more you can do before you hit HID as the next upgrade. Then you are onto a place where custom fabbing is your friend. www.hidtech.com

    About the leaking, I sealed my city lights with a rubber grommet that barely fit and had to stuff in. No leaks from there anymore. The main reason why it leaks it because it leaks from the main hole where the h4 bulb sits. I sealed my city lights with a rubber grommet that barely fit and had to stuff in. No leaks from there anymore. Because honda's design for the flipup light folds the seal beams to face down and literaly makes the housing into a bowl for water when it is down. There is small ways around it, like Cdscowboy (if I remember correctly) made a metal plate to direct the water away. My H4 housing's leak but the leak is rather minimal and I don't mind because it is usually two drops of water in there and 2-3 minutes with the headlight on will evaporated it away. The best way around minimizing leak is seal the main hole with some sort of rubber or channeling the water away from the hole. You can't seal it because otherwise you will have a sealed beam.
