Stock headlights on a 1998 Honda Accord can become clouded and hazy over time.

Projector headlights are often installed on high-end cars because they improve visibility and have a wide area of light dispersion. Installing projector lights on a 1998 Honda Accord is similar to installing regular headlights.
