Replacing my head lights with something new?

So i've been wanting to replace my headlights with something new. I have a 04 white Coupe. My headlights look old and yellow and they have the silver housing instead of the black. I want to say i want projectors and maybe halos? but i cant find any that look nice. Any suggestions?
Heres a pic of my accord

Get a retro. I'm not sure but I think it's an automatic ban on here if you do halos.

I'm doing retros,
and I have halo rings,
in a box...I think they will stay there lol
It's what you want
sometimes I print a black n white pic of my car and i'll draw/paste other pics on it, just to see what it'll look like. Maybe you could try that before you invest

I think what Milan means by the halos are those shitty ebay projector headlights. I'd rather see a PnP kit in stock headlights than those fucking things.

The only lights that come with halos are the shitty aftermarket ones, like everyone has already mentioned. The problem with those is they are going to be a downgrade in light output. You're better off getting new OEM or aftermarket OEM replacement headlights and retrofitting them.

You can always have them retrofitted by someone more experienced like I did. I didn't have the time or patience to do it myself.

Doesn't Ken do retrofits for ECM members? I remember he did a couple of retrofits for some people. I'll let him chime in on that though.
