Default 96-98 ebay ctr replica headlights

i have a red 96 ek hatch, and i hate my clear headlights, but i dont want to pay upwards of like $500 bucks for hop ctr headlights, when i can get replicas for around 100 bucks shipped. But......do the replicas have any major flaws or differences between the real ones, caz i dont want the headlights to stick out like a sore thumb and have some1 glance at my car and say those are the "fake ones"

besides looking like cheap knockoffs they'll leak like a sunken ship, causing the bulbs to die quicker...and also look like **** with all the condensation inside.
Youre better off doing your own w/ some gunmetal metalic paint.

When you buy them just put some extra sealant around them, they look good, and dont leak, got alittle glare at night though. Not as good as oem, but do the trick for 100$

sometimes they have the ion tint to it.
(ugly looking in my opinion)

what I did was, take my OEM headlamps, opened it (with a heat gun)

painted the housing with Black paint, and the orange reflector with orange paint.

Then glued it back together with bathroom tile sealant.

Looks pretty good.

They'll be good as long as you use liquid silicon around the edges.
