You can tell if it is real or not by the tint of the housing. fake ones are just flat black. the real ones have like a dark bronze tint. also I do believe it says honda on it. but I'm not sure about the honda part, I've had my headlights on my car for 2 years.

Replicas on eBay could be DIY OEM headlights so they would say "Honda" too.

But yea, it has a nice metallic shimmer to it. It's got a dark bronze color that can't be copied.

I have the real jdm lights. It says "honda" on them on the inside corner of the lense. And ther is a bronze and black color to them.

also with the jdm's, there will be a light cut off on the lights..so when there on, should should see semi circles

There is a company out there called DEPO that makes performance and OE lamps. They have good quality and match the OE specs. The lights shown on the link are probably DEPO lights so you can rely on the quality of them.

The only problem with the JDM's is the beam pattern messes with oncoming traffic (shoots off to the left). If you DIY or buy the replicas, at least they will have the correct beam pattern.

Believe me, I have the HID JDM's and I have to adjust the beam all the way down to keep the light off on-coming traffic.

jdm lights like on the ep3's dont have a dot number on them. Check the lenses.

those are fake ... they say "JDM RSX Style" on it ... so it's not the real thing. Lots of ebay sellers will try to do this to make you think it is real
