usually i tend to think anything that has ebay and halo headlights = junk

 

what about the ones with the black housings? my right side light is gettin some condensation in it so i might need to get some new ones

 

You could always try heating up the headlight and pulling it apart...after you do that..clean the surface and reseal the headlight with silicone and that will usually get rid of your condenstaion problems

eh i tend to think most of those are junk on ebay hah .. i think they give the car a cheaper look kind of ... iv seen some that look ok .. but most of the time .. its a cheap headlight that will more than likely not have a good seal on it :\

 

I just got a pair of the chrome housing halo lights since my stock ones were full of water. They seem to be constructed almost exactly like the stock ones and don't look cheap at all. Like someone said above, they do seem to have cheap seals on them. My left one already got a little condensation in it. I just took it off and used silicone all around the areas that aren't visible with the bumper cover on. Worked great.

i think the word "chrome" is were the cheapness starts hah if your into that kind of thing then just reseal em up

 

heard you can drill a hole in the bottom of the housing to let the water drain out. Also, seal up all other surfaces.

disclaimer: ONLY do this if you have replacable headlight bulbs. If your headlights come as one piece, meaning the whole entire thing, and you don't just replace the bulbs themselves, DO NOT DO THIS

LOL!

 

I just baked my headlight the other day, even though it was for a different reason, but it's really not that hard to do. Just put it in the oven at 250ºF and checked it after 5 minutes and every couple of minutes after that. Eventually that sticky *** glue came off and the lights separated. Never put them back together though... that's not part of the project.

 

After my front end was stolen, i had to find headlights VERY quickly. I didnt want to fork over $400+ to honda for new headlights so i found some cheap knockoffs that looked just like oem but only about $150 if i remember right. Well anyway, these headlights are total ****! I cant see 20ft in front of my car at night. Almost all the mounting brackets have broken of as well. Just go oem.

 

Vera- By chrome, I meant besides the halo they look the same as the stock headlights inside. They are not black housing headlights. The only way you can tell my new headlights are not stock when the halo's aren't lit up is by either seeing the ring inside for the halo or noticing that there isn't any lines across the lens cover, they are just clear and smooth.

ah ok .. post up a pic if you dont mind ..when i think if halo and chrome .. i always see that cheap *** crx headlight in my mind hah

 

i have a pair of 98+ black halos, but have yet to put them on. still need a 98+ bumper.

they look nice to me. i don't care what anyone else says, i like the smooth 'clear' plastic housing, as opposed to the prisms you find in OEM housings.

 

could be fixed

 

Vera, sorry I don't know how to post a pic but if you want I could email you one. It really wouldn't be much to look at though because seriously they look just like the stock 98 lights except for the differences I already mentioned. But if you want I'll send one, just let me know.
