Default Aftermarket 99-00 headlights

The headlights are starting to look like crap on my hatch, I've restored them a few times now but it doesn't seem to last. Can anyone recommend a decent OEM looking replacement headlight for the 99-00 civic?

Thanks

Not really. Maybe Depo or TYC.

just get the oem head lights man...the extra money you spend on the original parts will be original and will last longer than those after market ones...but if you really want oem looking headlights try depo they are not bad

There are Stanley OEM headlights on Ebay that have been recalled because they lack the amber reflectors on the turn signals. I purchased a set of these for around $69 or so and swapped the new lens and rubber parts onto the old housings. Same Standley and DOT markings as the original housings and everything fit together perfectly.

Put these together using the instructions for baking headlight housings for HIDs.

I can't provide a link as I probably purchased them about a year ago.

Many aftermarket the beam pattern sucks, but OEM are expensive, maybe tyc since they make some stuff for OEMS, like I know TYC makes scion tc led tails, so I guess if toyota trusts them.

You might want to do a real heavy duty restore on yours, you need a sanding kit then polish them then use a protective coat, Meguiars has a heavey duty kit and then they have a new protective coating that is separate.
