Headlights Hella or OEM Honda

For headlights there a tons of options. Personally I went with an OEM style with black housings, but you can find a bunch on ebay. Just be prepared for the clearcoat to wear out on them after 3 or so years if it lives outside.

I’ve had people flash their lights at our new Honda because they think the high beams are on. I feel bad but what am I supposed to do? That’s how the thing came from Honda.

I just came across new headlights made by Hella which are look alike VW MK5 versions and installed one to test the beam pattern on my GTI337. It appears that VW MK5 versions are newer one and due to that fact are engineered to put more light on the road. There is no visible cut out in a beam pattern like on OEM versions, but the MK5 look alike seem to be winning on my check list.

There are no alternatives. It\u2019s OEM Hella or Chinese crap. There are no options in the middle. There used to be DJ Autos but have been long discontinued.\n\nGet a set of Hellas. Restore them. It\u2019s the best option and you\u2019ll have great headlights for life

significantly better than the Sylvania OE ones for light output, but with an OE style cutoff so you don’t blind other drivers.

The LEDs are a massive upgrade for a Honda.

The headlights on my 2026 TSE are too bright. even on low beam I constantly get flashed. When I’m not getting flashed the lows are considerably brighter than past cars I’ve owned

What’s up with the weak headlights? My 5 year old Pilot (also with factory LEDs) just light up the road way more, throw is farther, and output is wider.

what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.

When driving my '18 Honda Civic i get flashed for having my high beams on pretty regularly when I don't.
